Board game

DETAILED DESCRIPTION With the foregoing and other objects in view, this invention in one aspect resides broadly in a board game having a segmented path along which players may advance through astrological houses and there being provided zodiac signs and/or indications and planet signs and/or indications which may be randomly aligned with the respective houses to provide combinations of zodiac signs and houses or zodiac signs, planets and houses which will have selected values and so determine the progress of the players' tokens along the segmented path.
Preferably the segmented path is arranged concentrically about a central pivot axis and both the zodiac signs and the planets are arranged in equally spaced relationship around respective wheels rotatable about the central pivot axis so that each zodiac sign and/or planet may randomly align with any one of the respective houses.
Of course if desired the zodiac signs and/or indications and planets could be adapted to move slidably with respect to the astrological house positions and random selection of their positions may be determined by the throw of a die or dice or electronically if required.
Furthermore, the game of the present invention can be used with themes other than astrology and this invention embraces such variations.
In the preferred form of this invention, the wheels upon which the zodiac signs and planets are designated are sprocket or star like with each designation zone extending between a pair of adjacent valleys of the wheel perimeter and whereby each tooth forms a radially extending pointer to indicate the random alignment achieved upon spinning both wheels.
The segmented path may include segments having instructions thereon relating to the players movement along the path or their progress in the game.
These instructions may include selection of chance cards which may have instructions for increasing or setting back the player's token along the segmented path or the players progress in the game.
In one form of the invention each player receives awards upon passing a selected position on the path and/or in accordance with instructions on the chance cards
