Abstract

Board games may include a game board having a pathway consisting of a plurality of interconnected movement spaces, a plurality of pairs of corresponding player movers, a plurality of movement tokens each including movement indicia, and a plurality of game cards each including instructional indicia. Some embodiments may further include a game card with indicia indicating separating a pair of corresponding player movers occupying the same movement space by moving one player mover of the pair to a different movement space than the one occupied. Methods of game play may involve each player moving an assigned pair of player movers on the pathway by moving each player mover individually and separately according to separate movement tokens selected by the player until both player movers of the assigned pair have been moved to occupy the same movement space, and then moving the pair of player movers together as a unit thereafter.
