  • Patent number: 6443453
    Abstract: An office performance review game, comprising a plurality of game pieces with each piece representing a player (26); a game board (12); chance device for controlling movement of game pieces (24), Trek boss comment cards (14), Track boss comment cards (16), twenty-point cards (18), and ten-point cards (20). The game board contains two paths to a home space, each path divided into a plurality of spaces. Each of the paths represents a different quality of job performance review. One path is called the Trek path (28) and the second is called the Track path (34). Players throw a die to determine which path they will travel. Players either read performance review comments that are inserted in spaces of a traveling path and select a card containing the value of the comment or they select cards that contain a performance review comment and comment value. Either way, they collect a “hand” of cards that together determine a performance review.
