Abstract: The present invention provides a board game and a method of playing a board game in which players attempt to be the first to have their set of game pieces move from a start to a finish space along a path formed of a plurality of path spaces. Each player moves by selecting a movement card with indicia directing the player to either move a game piece a number of spaces or providing the player with “jump”, “sack”, “switch”, or “return” instructions. If a numbered card is drawn, the player is permitted to move substantially any game piece, either the player's piece or any opponent's piece, on the board the allotted number of spaces. If a moving game piece lands on a space occupied by another game piece, the occupying game piece is returned to the start space.
