Abstract:

An educational game that includes a game board including a counterclockwise oriented sequence of game piece spaces, the sequence beginning with an outer start space and terminating in a center end space, the game piece spaces including penalty indicia spaces, no indicia spaces and safety card select indicia spaces; a number of player positionable game pieces; four two-sided tossing pieces; and a number of safety cards each having a side having a point winning indicia in a corner thereof and educational information printed in the center area thereof. The educational game is played by tossing the four two-sided tossing pieces onto a surface and moving a game piece along the sequence of game piece spaces on the game board according to the result of the toss. Points are accumulated as each player travels from the start space to the center end space, collecting points by drawing safety cards. The first player entering the center end space receives five bonus points.
