Abstract
An apparatus including a circuitous path arranged about a board originating from a home base and terminating at an objective base for each of four such home and objective bases. The tokens are of a generally paddle shaped configuration and received within apertures about the circuitous path and directed about the circuitous path by utilizing a bridge-path deck of cards to provide the chance relationship between the cards and the tokens to effect movement of the tokens about the path.
Claims1
A board game apparatus comprising, in combination,
- a rigid playing board, the playing board including a top surface, the top surface including a first, second, third, and fourth home base area, each home base area including a predetermined number of apertures therewithin, and
- each home base area including a predetermined number of tokens positioned within the predetermined apertures, and
- respective first, second, third, and fourth objective base, and
- a circuitous path directed from each home base area to each objective base, with the first home base area directed to the first objective base, the second home base area directed to the second objective base, the third home base area directed to the third objective base, and the fourth home base area directed to the fourth objective base, and
- each objective base including a predetermined number of further apertures, wherein the predetermined number of further apertures are equal to the number of predetermined apertures, and
- each token including an upper end and an elongate stem longitudinally aligned with the upper end, the elongate stem defined by a predetermined length receivable within each of the apertures, and
- the circuitous path defined by equally spaced path apertures, and
- wherein each aperture is defined by a predetermined height equal to the predetermined length of the elongate stem, and
- wherein the elongate stem includes an externally threaded portion positioned adjacent an upper end of the stem, and a spacing defined between the lower end of the threaded portion and the terminal end of the stem and equal to the predetermined height of each aperture, and each aperture includes an internally threaded aperture surface positioned adjacent an upper terminal end of each aperture to complementarily receive the threaded portion of each stem to threadedly secure each stem within an associated aperture.
