Abstract: A black widow board game (10) comprising a plurality of game pieces (12), in which a group of four of the game pieces (12) are color coded and used by one particular player during the game. A board (14) is provided, having a continuous path around its perimeter divided into consecutive spaces (16). Each of the spaces (16) bear instructions representing various tasks to do during the play of the game. Some of the spaces (16) represent amounts of money to be paid and received by each player, when one of the game pieces (12) lands thereon. There are four start position spaces (18), each located at one corner of the game board (14) to be used by a particular player to start the four game pieces (12) therefrom. There are also four home paths extending inwardly from each corner and divided into consecutive spaces (20) to be used by one particular player to reach a home space (22) to win the game.
