Description
- A. The Field of the Invention
- The embodiments of the present invention relate to a board, and more particularly, the embodiments of the present invention relate to a board game for drug dealing sensitivity.
- B. The Description of the Prior Art
- Numerous innovations for board games have been provided in the prior art, which will be described below in chronological order to show advancement in the art, and which are incorporated herein by reference thereto. Even though these innovations may be suitable for the specific individual purposes to which they address, however, they differ from the present invention in that they do not teach a board game for drug dealing sensitivity.
- (1) U.S. Pat. No. 3,977,680 to Lavine.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,977,680—issued to Lavine on Aug. 31, 1976 in U.S. class 273 and subclass 249—teaches a board game involving the criminal judicial process. The equipment includes a supply of “people cards” each exhibiting a person having individual socio-economic characteristics. From this supply each player selects one card at random to establish his “identity” for the course of the game. A game board is provided with a branching and recombining path providing for analogies to such events as posting/not posting bond, public or private attorney, etc. A first card and a chance device combine to establish the “Alleged Crime” of each player and a second card and said chance device to select the type of Defense Attorney. At the “jury selection” spaces on the board, a jury of nine is selected by choice from a group of 15 randomly chosen people cards. The characteristics of the jury are numerically weighted to provide a realistic simulation of jury selection as related to the accused and the Alleged Crime. The player may gain or lose advantage points during his movement along the path on the game board between arraignment and verdict, which are computed to establish the verdict of guilty or not guilty.
- (2) U.S. Pat. No. 4,878,675 to Perry, et al.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,878,675—issued to Perry, et al. on Nov. 7, 1989 in U.S. class 273 and subclass 251—teaches a method for playing an educational and amusement game. The board game provides for playing two separate games. In the first game, game cards similar to bingo cards are distributed to each player. Game emblems or pieces start at a corresponding “Home” space and move along the inner path according to the roll of dice. Each inner space has a representation of a conventional playing card. After moving a game piece, the player must guess whether the playing card about to be picked from a conventional deck of playing cards is higher, lower or the same as the playing card represented on the landed space. Upon a correct guess, the player places a token on the space on his game card which corresponds to the landed space. If the guess is incorrect, question cards or reward and penalty cards may be used to give the player another opportunity to fill his game card. In the second game, players' pieces move along the outer path according to the roll of dice. Instructions on the outer spaces must be followed. The instructions and questions on the game board spaces and on the cards pertain to hazards and pitfalls associated in the use of addictive substances such as alcohol, tobacco and drugs.
- (3) U.S. Pat. No. 5,071,134 to Burroughs, Jr.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,071,134—issued to Burroughs, Jr. on Dec. 10, 1991 in U.S. class 273 and subclass 249—teaches a board game apparatus is provided for educating the players about the consequences of the use of drugs and alcohol. Broadly, the invention comprises a game board having a playing path, a plurality of movable game pieces, a random number generator (a conventional six-sided die), a plurality of decks of question cards, a deck of penalty cards, and a plurality of challenge tokens. The playing path is formed by a plurality of segments or spaces, each of which is provided with an identifying indicia corresponding to an identifying indicia of either one of the decks of question cards or the deck of penalty cards and a plurality of corner penalty segments. The playing path is a modified, substantially inwardly disposed spiral having an outer level, an intermediate level and an inner level. The outer level consists of a plurality of four different randomly disposed segments and the corner penalty spaces; the intermediate level consists of a plurality of five different randomly disposed segments and the corner penalty spaces; and the inner level consists of a plurality of six different randomly disposed segments and the corner penalty spaces.
- (4) U.S. Pat. No. 5,139,268 to Garnett.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,139,268—issued to Garnett on Aug. 18, 1992 in U.S. class 273 and subclass 249—teaches a board game is disclosed which is intended to teach children to lead honest, law abiding lives, and to stay away from drugs. The inventive board has two concentric paths, an outer longer path and an inner shorter path. Players who choose to attempt to take the shorter path face pitfalls which can slow their progress, while players who choose the longer path are assisted in their travels when landing on “say no and go” spaces. In the center of the board, a drug free zone is provided and the object of the game is for a player to end up with all of their game tokens in the drug free zone after each token has completely circled the board once.
- (5) U.S. Pat. No. 5,244,391 to Bryant.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,244,391—issued to Bryant on Sep. 14, 1993 in U.S. class 434 and subclass 129—teaches an educational board game relating to the subject of illegal chemical substances (e.g. narcotics or “drugs”) comprising a game board, player tokens, question cards and fact cards. The board includes a track or path of spaces along which the tokens are moved in response to manipulation of a chance means. The fact cards or the question cards are read aloud to all players depending upon which spaces on the track the individual tokens land on. The object of the game is to gain knowledge about the dangers of illegal drug use as the individual player tokens progress along the track.
- (6) U.S. Pat. No. 5,350,179 to Hill, et al.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,350,179—issued to Hill, et al. on Sep. 27, 1994 in U.S. class 273 and subclass 249—teaches aboard game apparatus wherein players assume the identities of police officers and fight the war against crack cocaine.
