  • Patent number: 6299168
    Abstract: A board game having a future-predicting theme. The game includes a rectangular board having a sinuous path printed thereon. Along the path are a number of future-predicting stations illustrated as circles with numbered segments each of which defining a future event like: marriage age, career choice, and place of residence. The numbers of the segments correspond to the numbers that may be selected by a chance device. Players, in turn, proceed along the path making predictions about their lives by choosing a number at a station and, then, rotating the spinner. The difference, if any, between the predicted number and the one found by the spinner is tallied. The player with the lowest cumulative tally after traversing the path is declared the winner.
