Ant board game featuring ant cave and tunnel

A method for playing a game involving family members, wherein each player's knowledge of mathematical relationships, including odd number relationships, even number relationships, greater than number relationships, less than number relationships, or a combination thereof are applied, comprising the steps of:

• providing each player with a token;
• providing a game board having
• a start space printed thereon,
• an end space printed thereon,
• a plurality of sequentially disposed game spaces printed thereon and arranged between the start space and the end space,
• an ant cave location printed thereon and arranged in relation to one of the sequentially disposed game spaces,
• an ant tunnel printed thereon and arranged between and connecting a first one of the sequentially disposed game spaces and a second non-adjacent one of the sequentially disposed game spaces so that a player whose token lands on the first one of the sequentially disposed game spaces may move across the ant tunnel to a given one of the sequentially disposed game spaces located on the other side of the ant tunnel, and
• a move-to-ant-cave indicator on selected ones of the sequentially disposed game spaces indicating that a player whose token lands thereon is to go to the ant cave location on the game board;
• providing playing cards for indicating one or more mathematical relationships including a greater than relationship, a less than relationship, an odd number relationship, an even number relationship, or a combination thereof;
• providing a die having six sides operable for providing a random number between 1 and 6 signifying a number of the sequentially disposed game board spaces to which each player advances the player's token;
• sequentially determining for each player the number of sequentially disposed game board spaces to advance the player's token by operating the random number generator on each player's turn;
• advancing on a player's next turn a player's token across the ant tunnel when the player's token lands on the first one of the sequentially disposed game spaces on a player's turn;
• moving the player's token to the ant cave location when the player lands on the selected ones of the sequentially disposed game board spaces having the move-to-ant-cave indicator;
• moving the player's token from the ant cave location to one of the sequentially disposed game board spaces determined the. number provided by the random number generator on the player's next turn after:
• selecting a playing card to determine a mathematical relationship,
• rolling the dies to determine the random number signifying the number of the sequentially disposed game board spaces to which the player may advance the player's token, and
• moving the player's token from the ant cave location only when to the random number satisfies the mathematical relation shown on the playing card;
• and
• determining a game winner as a first player that moves the player's token from the start space to the end space.
