Three sets of spaces, designated WIN, PLACE or SHOW, direct the player to answer a horse racing trivia question selected at random by another player. If the player answers correctly, he or she is awarded a pari-mutual ticket, which is used to place a wager on a simulated horse race. Simulated horse races are run whenever a player lands on a space designated for a race.

Abstract: A system and methods are provided in which a certain level of the chance aspect of a game or other application is removed and a certain level of a skill aspect is added. This may be accomplished by using an indicator to establish a predetermined number of move numbers for one or more players in the game. For example, the indicator may be used to determine a first group of move numbers for a first player and a second group of move numbers for a second player. The players use the pre-established move numbers to advance according to the rules of the game. Depending on the particular embodiment, the move numbers within a group may be sequenced or non-sequenced. Move numbers may be replaced at each player's turn or when all or a subset of the move numbers of a group are used. Move numbers may be established by any type of indicator such as dice, dominos, or a random number generator. In some embodiments, move numbers may be traded in.

Abstract: A racing game permits two or more players to compete by taking turns incrementally moving their game pieces around a race track comprising a plurality of discrete track positions. Each track position corresponds to a game command or to a race vehicle. Landing on a game command requires the player to perform that command, which may have bonus or penalty effect, depending on the particulars of the command. Landing on a race vehicle provides the player to purchase the vehicle for a defined purchase price, unless another player already owns the vehicle. If the vehicle is owned by another player, the player that lands on that position must pay a vehicle fee to the owner. Becoming race-qualified by purchasing a complete team of race vehicles is an overriding game play goal. Race qualified players are permitted to race for game points and game money, and may engage in a series of races reminiscent of real-world racing series, such as NASCAR, INDY RACING LEAGUE, or FORMULA 1.

Abstract: An approach to realistically schematizing professional team sports embodied as board games, and particularly a preferred embodiment schematizing American football, baseball and basketball, as well as soccer, ice hockey and golf. One key to the realistic play of the game is the On-The-Roll™ (“OTR”) mechanism where, once play begins, real time play continues, generally against a clock, where both teams, generally, continue to roll dice continuing sub-play actions or elements, until a play is completed, as by a touchdown, tackle, or otherwise. Other games employ a one-player OTR mechanism for processes such as putting or hazard escape in golf. An additional essential element is a series of rules and charts, based on statistical compilation of many actual professional games, that map various combinations of offensive and defensive strategy options and dice rolls onto realistic game situations and the progression among them.
