A board game simulates competitive advancement in an organizational hierarchy by movement of tokens on sections of the board arranged in laterally extending rows and lying within distinct sectors radially arrayed about a central section of the board. Movement of a token within a row is preferentially in a predetermined direction of increasing hierarchial status and movement between rows is preferentially in a radial direction towards the central section. Digit dice and a selector die for determining the order in which the digit dice are read randomly generate a number. A set of action cards translate this number into a move code and a table of moves translates the move code into movement of the tokens on the board or other changes in the situation of the player affecting the advance of his token to the central section. Scorecards translate an initial roll of the dice by each player into a starting position on the board for a token associated with that player and also determine other characteristics associated with that player. The scorecards also preferably record the financial condition and transactions of the players.
