Abstract
A board game apparatus for use in a game of chance which includes a game board having a playing surface characterized by a flat area with outer and inner tracks for traversal by a player or game token according to the throws of dice. The game tokens are magnetically influenced and successful traversal of the game tokens depends in part on chance expulsion from selected track positions by a magnet-equipped stick in the possession of each player.
