Abstract
A game includes a board having a start position and at least two possible finish positions. A number of sequential positions are located between the start position and the possible finish positions. Each player has a playing piece which starts on the start position and a player designating one of the finish positions prior to starting the game. The game finishing when a player's playing piece lands on the designated finish position.
Claims18
A method of playing a game for educating a player about brain activities comprising:
- providing a representation of a board, the board further comprising:
- a start position for each player to position a moveable playing piece at the beginning of the game;
- at least three finish positions to receive a non-moving playing piece for each player at the beginning of 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;
- positioning the non-moving playing piece on one of the finish positions;
- advancing the moveable playing piece in response to a first random determination from the start position to a first position including a first human brain function designator;
- providing a prompt to the player, wherein the prompt is related to the first brain function;
- responding to the first brain function related prompt;
- marking the first position with a first counter piece;
- advancing the moveable playing piece in response to a second random determination from the first position to a second position including a second human brain function designator;
- providing another prompt to the player, wherein the prompt is related to the second brain function;
- responding to the second brain function related prompt;
