  • Patent number: 5799942
    Abstract: A board game comprising a game board, games pieces, dice, score cards, score sheets, and play money. At the beginning of the game, each player will receive a check list, along with two twenty dollar bills, three ten dollar bills, three five dollar bills, four two dollar bills, and seven one dollar bills. The dice will then be rolled to determine the order of play. Players cannot swap, trade, or borrow monies or properties during game play; a player will not be allowed to purchase or sell to the student store. One trip around the board, during play, is representative of a year, and will be broken down into twelve months, and will include properties, bills and expenses to be paid, and income to be made. A player may not purchase any properties unless he or she lands upon the appropriate space. More than one player may occupy a space at once. Players may not purchase any properties the first time around the board; however, all expenses must be paid, at any time during the game.
