Abstract
A game includes a board (10) having a start position (30) and at least two possible finish positions (31). A number of sequential positions (35, 36, 37, 38, 39) are located between the start position (30) and the possible finish positions (31). Each player has a playing piece (21) which starts on the start position (30) and a player designating one of the finish positions (31) prior to starting the game. The game finishing when a player's playing piece (21) lands on the designated finish position (31).
Claims18
A gaming apparatus comprising:
- a moveable playing piece for each player;
- a plurality of counter pieces for each player corresponding to each player's moveable playing piece;
- a non-moving playing piece for each player corresponding to each player's moveable playing piece and plurality of counter pieces;
- a board, the board further comprising:
- a start position for each player to position the moveable playing piece at the beginning of the game;
- at least three finish positions to receive each player's non-moving playing piece prior to beginning the game;
- and
- a schematic layout of a human brain having a plurality of sequential and interconnected positions between the start position and the finish positions, the sequential and interconnected positions including a plurality of human brain function designators;
- and
- a plurality of cards having instructions corresponding to certain of the sequential and interconnected positions not including one of the human brain function designators;
- and play money to determine the location of the counter pieces placeable only on the sequential and interconnected position including one of the brain designators.

A gaming apparatus comprising:
- a game board including a plurality of positions arranged in a schematic layout of a human brain, the plurality of positions being divided into a first section and a second section, wherein the first section further comprises:
- a start position;
- and
- a plurality of positions each representing a different left brain activity;
- wherein the second section further comprises:
- at least three finish positions each representing a different life goal;
- and
- a plurality of positions each representing a different right brain activity;
- a first playing piece for each player moveable to any of the plurality of positions;
- and
- a plurality of counter pieces for each player placeable on the left and right brain activity positions;

A gaming apparatus comprising:
- a game board including four positions for four different sets of instructional cards and a schematic layout of a human brain, the schematic layout of a human brain further comprising:
- a left brain section of sequential and interconnected positions having a start position, a plurality of positions each representing a different left brain activity, and a plurality of positions corresponding to the sets of instructional cards;
- and
- a right brain section of sequential and interconnected positions having a plurality of positions each representing a different right brain activity, a plurality of positions corresponding to the sets of instructional cards, and at least three finish positions each representing a different life goal;
- a first playing piece for each player moveable to any of the brain layout positions;
- a non-moving second playing piece for each player placeable only on any one of the finish positions;
- a plurality of counter pieces for each player placeable only on the left and right brain activity positions;
- a die to determine movement of the first playing piece;
- and
- play money to determine the location of the counter pieces on the left and right brain activity positions.
