A board-type game apparatus designed around the theme of a mythical man-animal known as 'Big Foot' includes, in combination, a game board having a relatively large playing surface with a plurality of spaced apart playing piece stations or spaces thereon positioned at intervals along a travel path. One of the play spaces is designated as 'Big Foot Home'. A plurality of relatively small playing pieces are adapted for movement over the playing surface between the spaces along the travel path. One of the playing pieces is formed to resemble the mythical character 'Big Foot' and includes a hollow base for containing a plurality of disks adapted to be removably contained in vertically stacked relation therein. Some of the disks have distinguishing indicia on one face, such as a foot print of 'Big Foot' and some are plain. The disks are loaded in the hollow base in random order. The 'Big Foot' playing piece includes a disk holding member which is releasable upon manual placement of the playing piece into pressure contact against the playing surface of the board to deposit the lower disk in the stack on a playing space when the pressure contact is terminated. A chance device such as a die is used for determining the number of spaces that the playing pieces are moved around the travel path and some playing spaces labeled 'card' require the player to draw from a deck of cards provided for the game.

Chase-type board game apparatus

A physical activity game for opposing teams of two or more players comprises a plurality of adjustable, flexible straps adapted to be looped around the arms and/or legs of the players of each team. An elongated flexible element is provided for each team and is adapted to be passed through the looped straps on the players in a selected order. A chance selector comprising an enlarged mixing area and a restricted display area for a plurality of chance elements is provided for randomly determining the order that the flexible element must be passed through the looped straps on the players' wrists and ankles. The straps and chance elements have corresponding indicia such as color coding whereby the order randomly determined by the chance means directs the order of passage of the flexible elements through the particular color coded straps positioned on the players' arms and legs. After a selected order is determined, the game begins, and the first team of players to complete the passage of the flexible element through all of the looped straps in the proper order wins the game.
