  • Patent number: 5749580
    Abstract: An educational board game is provided which aids the players in preparing for the driver's license examination. The game is designed to be an interactive multi-player game which includes a board, game tokens, score cards, dice and cards. The board includes a sequential pattern of rectangles which the players would move their token about in response to a throw of the dice. The sequential pattern resembles a series of interconnected rectangular and square paths of playing squares representing roadways and their associated traffic control devices and hazards. Each player will transit the board following the sequential pattern with the object of memorizing all the safety rules of the road, to obey safety signs, to obey speed limits, and to become aware of the serious problem of driving under the influence of alcohol. Questions which may appear on the examination are posed during the course of play and points will be awarded for correct answers. Scores are kept on associated scorecards.
