Abstract
A multi-tier board game arrangement is disclosed including a game board with a playing surface having a center and a perimeter, the playing surface including a plurality of segmented endless paths and interconnecting paths therebetween. Each of the segmented endless paths is generally concentric with the center of the playing surface, with the endless paths spaced radially therefrom and preferably in a regular geometric shape, such as a regular hexagon with the paths being generally centered one with another. A plurality of interconnecting or transverse paths interconnect adjacent endless paths, with a plurality of segmented home bases adjacent the center of the playing surface and connected to the endless path nearest the center. A plurality of sets of playing pieces are also included in the game board arrangement, such playing pieces each having a designated permitted movement, such as movement only in a clockwise or a counter-clockwise direction, or in both directions. Movement of the playing pieces about the playing surface is primarily provided through the chance selection of a number, movement being further augmented through the use of playing cards each bearing on the face thereof instructions relevant to the movement of a playing piece about the playing surface.
