Abstract
A board game is provided which consists of a game board having a generally spiraled type path of travel in a clockwise direction divided into consecutive playing position spaces a plurality of playing pieces one for each player, and a chance device for determining the movement of the playing pieces. The chance device is similar to the Hawaiian game called Pogs which uses a plurality of milk caps or disks each having an identifiable indicia on a first face, and a hitter disk. The disks are stacked with the first faces turned down. Each player takes turns throwing the hitter disk toward the stack knocking the stack over and toppling the disks. The respective playing piece moves the number of playing position spaces equal to the number of disks turned over with their first face up.
Claims13
A method of playing a board game comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a game board having a generally spiraled type path of travel in a clockwise direction divided into consecutive playing position spaces, substantially covering said entire playing board, wherein said path of travel starts from a first playing position space at a corner of said game board and ends at a last playing position space in the center of said game board;
- b) a plurality providing of playing pieces, one for each of the game players, each said playing piece being of a size to fit within said playing position spaces and differently identifiable to represent one of the game players;
- c) providing a chance determining means f or producing a random output count representing a number of said playing position spaces to be moved by each said playing piece, said chance determining means includes a plurality of disks, each having identifiable indicia on one face, and a hitter disk;
- d) placing each players' playing piece on said first playing position space;
- e) determining the order of play;
- f) stacking said disks with said identifiable indicia on each disk turned face down;
- g) a first player attempting to flip over, identifiable indicia face up, as many disks as possible by throwing said hitter disk toward said stack of disks, wherein when said stack of disks is hit by said hitter disk said stack is knocked down toppling over each of said disks;
- h) said player moving his/her respective playing piece the number of said playing position spaces equal to the number of said toppled over disks that are flipped over with their said identifiable indicia face up;
- and
- i) repeating steps f)-h) for the next player.
