A game features competitive sports in track and field, water, winter and arena events. The apparatus comprises a playing board, at least four two-piece magnetic playing pieces, five sets of playing cards, a die, a spinner and game instructions. The playing board comprises a two-dimensional area having a zoned section around the perimeter thereof upon which players advance among a plurality of contiguous spaces, the inscription for each station providing a random distribution of penalties or bonuses in advancing play or in calculating score and instructions to the players including directions diverting play into the major event. It has a spinner located centrally. The remaining area is divided in quadrants, each having a course for play and an area for an associated deck of cards. Each event quadrant contains playing stations arranged in a path from start to finish. Event cards identify a sport and set values for winning medals. A special card may direct a player's next move, grant a bonus or impose a penalty. Playing pieces have two parts, a pedestal and a figurine. The parts are held together magnetically. The figurine is used alone in advancing in a sports event, the combined pedestal and figurine is for advancing in the principal course at the perimeter zone. While playing an event the pedestal marks the last space in player's progress along the perimeter course for player's return thereto on conclusion of the event. The object of the game is to win by scoring the most points in a fixed time or to win by being the first player to score a set number of points. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The preferred embodiment of the present invention is intended to foster an awareness of international individual and team sports as played quadrennially in the Olympic Games to provide entertainment and amusement for a limited number of persons while at the same time providing a vehicle for teaching special aspects of the various sports in the major events.
A rectangular game board has a principal playing course forming a continuous pattern of contiguous spaces arranged about the perimeter and four similar but irregular secondary courses arranged symmetrically along the diagonals of the board with a small area at the center of the board reserved for placement thereon of a spinning number generator.
Each of the secondary courses is reserved for game play related to one of the four Event classifications; namely, Track and Field, Winter, Water and Arena Sports.
Except where otherwise specifically directed the spinning number generator is used for player moves on the secondary courses while a random number generator, i.
e.
a die, is used for player moves on the peripheral principal course.
The principal course has 44 spaces each inscribed with game information.
Several spaces require a player arriving thereon to go to the secondary courses for Sports Event play.
In some instances the player will have an option to challenge other players and in other instances there is a mandatory requirement to so challenge other players.
Challenged players must compete unless they are already playing an Event Sport, are presently situated on a sanctuary (or safe area) spaces or possess a "right to refuse challenge" card from the Special Deck.
Each secondary course has 23 numbered spaces in addition to a start space.
The last three spaces are inscribed Bronze Medal, Silver Medal and Gold Medal in keeping with winner's awards in the Olympic Games.
Associated with each secondary course is a deck of Sports Events Cards, having 21 cards in each deck.
Each card represents a particular individual or team contest in the Major Olympic Event and assigns values to the Gold, Silver and Bronze medals for game scoring
