A game board is included that is formed from water-impermeable material and has surface indicia for defining a game path and a plurality of spaces on which each player may land. The board game further includes a plurality of game pieces, a dry-erase board, and a dry-erase marker removably positionable within the cavity. The dry-erase board has a substantially smooth drawing surface connected to the top wall and facing away therefrom.
