  • Patent number: 4522407
    Abstract: A board game of the kind wherein players are represented by pieces movable on a board along a track of main stations. The number of stations is selected by chance prior to each piece's movement and each player may effect financial transactions, the nature of which transaction depends on the main station on which each player's piece lands. The game includes two tracks of main stations, four transit stations enabling movement from one track to the other and a track of index stations along which an index token may move to modify the purchasing power of the currency by which the transactions are effected. One of the two main tracks has a higher proportion of a first type of main station and a lower proportion of a second type of main station than the other main track. Players elect a President who, subject to Congress, determines tax rates and like matters.
