  • Publication number: 20060151948
    Abstract: A board game played with multiple players, all moving their respective pieces down a path of squares, towards the finish square. The first player to reach this finish is the game winner. The number of forward moves will be determined by spinning the roulette wheel, and where the ball drops, or ticker, that will be the number of squares to advance. Along the way, a player may land on a particular square requiring him or her to draw a card from the deck and perform the stated activity. At times during the game, a player will be required to use the fake pistol laying on the game board. Depending on the particular game situation, the player may be required to play Russian roulette with himself or herself, or shoot a player with the fake gun.
