Abstract
An electronic game board and DVD system in which the game board is provided with a plurality of game squares or spaces arranged on the surface of the game board. Each of the game squares or spaces is provided with a depressable switch. The depression of the switch would indicate a particular square or space on which a player has landed and this information is transmitted to a microprocessor by either a wired or wireless connection. A display associated with the microprocessor would project an appropriate scene, word, phrase or question based upon the position of the game piece as relayed to the microprocessor by the depression of the appropriate switch.

A game system comprising:
- a planar game board provided with a plurality of first game spaces included on said game board, each of said first game spaces provided with written indicia thereon;
- a plurality of switches, each of said plurality of switches connected to one of said first game spaces, wherein each of said first game spaces has only one of said switches connected thereto;
- an electronic game controller and memory in communication with all of said switches;
- one or more game pieces for movement along said first game spaces;
- and
- a display device in communication with said electronic game controller and memory, wherein, the activation of one of said switches is communicated to said electronic game controller and memory, indicating the particular game space upon which one of said game pieces has landed, but not the identity of said one of said game pieces, thereby allowing an appropriate output to be projected onto said display device based upon the depression of one of said plurality of switches.
