  • Patent number: 4900032
    Abstract: A game board apparatus is disclosed herein, including a flat board having a playing surface marked with concentric separated tracks composed of playing spaces placed end-to-end along the length of each track. Certain playing spaces are specially marked to indicate a special event or change of play according to the rules of play. The playing tracks are laid out in a symmetrical pattern with the special event spaces interconnecting the concentric tracks at spaced apart intervals along the respective tracks. Subtracks are connected to a selected one of the concentric tracks useful as a delay or penalty area employed by the players during a course of play. Game pieces are employed for player movement along the playing tracks, and chance determining devices such as dice are used to determine the number of playing spaces advanced or retracted by the respective player's game pieces. Penalty and award spaces or cards are used according to the rules for enhancing player interest during the course of play.
