Abstract:
A global property trading board game having a game board with a continuous travel path divided into stations being associated with respective countries and having markings, including economic values representative of the respective countries' gross domestic product. Movement of a game-piece along the travel path is determined by a chance-controlled device. Each player is allocated a line of credit represented by international business cards in various monetary denominations. The respective players are further assigned a global region constituting a trade-bloc of countries. A player may acquire the assets of any country corresponding to the station in which the game-piece is located, assuming the assets are not owned by another player, by payment of the designated economic value utilizing the player's international business cards. When a competing player's game-piece is located within a station wherein the assets are owned by another player the competing player must pay a tax to that player. Several of the stations are keyed to playing cards that impose either a monetary penalty, or a monetary reward; other stations affect advancement of the respective player's game-piece. The player who acquires all or most of the countries' assets within its assigned trade-bloc and has successfully defended its home sovereignty is the victor.
