Board game with interrelated cards and chips

A game for the entertainment of two or more persons comprising:

• a medium of exchange,
• a pair of dice,
• a marker for each person,
• first and second decks of indicia-bearing collection cards,
• third and fourth decks of indicia-bearing payback cards, and
• a board having a closed circuit made up of a plurality of adjacent spaces arranged seriatim and including decision spaces of two different kinds, the first decision spaces bearing indicia correlated to both the first and the second decks of cards, and the second decision spaces bearing indicia correlated to both the third and fourth decks of cards,
• the closed circuit being arranged about the edge of a square board, with forty-eight spaces in four sections, one section along each edge of the board, and with the corners of the board comprising spaces bearing indicia defining a start-finish space and three barrier spaces, one at the end of each of the first three sections, and with the space next to each corner space at the beginning of each section defining a return space,
• the first two sections including first decision spaces located seven spaces and ten spaces from the return space and including second decision spaces located six spaces and nine spaces from the return space, the third section including first decision spaces located seven spaces and nine spaces from the return space and including second decision spaces located six spaces and ten spaces from the return space.

A game for the entertainment of two or more players comprising:

• a medium of exchange,
• a controlled probability random number generator,
• a marker for each player,
• two sets of future collection cards,
• two sets of future payback cards,
• a board having a closed circuit made up of a plurality of adjacent spaces arranged seriatim, said closed circuit being divided into two or more sections, each section including a portion of the spaces, and ending with a barrier space and beginning with a return space and with the spaces between the return space and barrier space being correlated to the medium of exchange and the four cards, said barrier spaces having indicia corresponding to an amount of medium of exchange and the return space at the beginning of that section, each section having two different decision spaces, the first decision space bearing indicia correlated to the sets of future collection cards and the second decision space bearing indicia correlated to the sets of future payback cards,
• the location of the first decision space and second decision space from the return space in each section and the probability of the numbers obtainable in operation of the controlled probability number generator being such that a marker leaving a return space is more likely to come to rest at first decision and second decision spaces than other spaces in the section.

A game and board having a playing area which has a plurality of adjacent marker positions for random number progression of a marker, comprising

• a starting position for beginning play;
• a plurality of intermediate play positions;
• a random number generator to provide for movement of a marker;
• one or more barrier positions past which a marker may not proceed unless certain conditions are met, and if said conditions are not met, the marker will be returned to a preceding position;
• a first deck of collection cards;
• a second deck of collection cards;
• a third deck of payback cards;
• a fourth deck of payback cards;
• a first indicia on a plurality of said intermediate play positions correlated to said first deck of cards and said second deck of cards;
• and
• a second indicia on a plurality of said intermediate play positions correlated to said third deck of cards and said fourth deck of cards;
• a set of first counters, said first counters being correlated to said first deck of cards, and said fourth deck of cards;
• and
• a set of second counters said second counters being correlated to said second deck of cards, and said third deck of cards.

A game, comprising

• a playing board having a closed circuit comprised of a starting position for beginning;
• a plurality of adjacent marker positions with varying indicia instructing player activity, the marker positions being accessible by means of a random number generator means;
• a first deck of collection cards;
• a second deck of collection cards;
• a third deck of payback cards;
• a fourth deck of payback cards;
• a first indicia on a plurality of said marker positions correlated to both said first deck of cards and said second deck of cards;
• a second indicia on a plurality of said marker positions correlated to both said third deck of cards and said fourth deck of cards;
• a set of first counters representing long-term advantage, said first counters being correlated to said first cards, and said fourth cards;
• a set of second counters representing long-term disadvantage, said second counters being correlated said second cards, and said third cards;
• currency, to be received and dispersed according to the varying indicia on said closed circuit and on said cards;
• and
• one or more of said marker positions constitutes a barrier position correlated to a prior associated marker position.
