For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be made to the accompanying drawings and the subsequent description. Briefly, the drawings are:
The invention may be embodied as a board game 10. One such game is depicted in
Adults playing the game may be uncomfortable performing the instructions on the cards of the male player card deck or on the cards of the female player card deck. To accommodate these people, the board game may include one or more avatar card decks. Such decks may include a computer generated, hand drawn or photographic avatar, which may substitute for the player performing an action when the adult themed instructions involve something the player is uncomfortable doing, like undressing in front of others. For example, the male player may select the appropriate male avatar 25 depicting the various undressing stages of a male player and display such card instead of performing the action himself
Similarly, the board game may include an avatar card deck having cards which may substitute for the female player performing an action when the adult themed instructions involve something the player is uncomfortable doing, like undressing in front of others. In this case, the female player may select the appropriate female avatar 28 depicting various undressing stages of a female player and display such card instead of performing the action herself.
The board game substrate 13 may have a path 31, which provides an order of locations (some of which may be real estate locations 40). Player tokens 34 may be moved along the path 31. The distance the player may move his or her token 34 along the path 31 may be determined by a random distance generator 37. For example the random distance generator 37 may be a pair of dice. A player may throw the dice to determine the distance to move that player's token 34 along the path 31.
The path may include a plurality of real estate locations 40 along the path 31 which may provide positions on the paths where the tokens 34 may be located. Names 43 may be associated with each of the real estate locations 40. In one embodiment of the present invention, the names 43 of at least some of the real estate locations 40 may have an adult theme.
The board game 10 may also provide a real estate card deck 46. Cards in the real estate card deck 46 may include information relating to one of the real estate locations 40 located along the path 31. Such information displayed on a real estate card 46 may include rent information relating to the real estate location 40, which may be used to compute fees if an opponent player's token 34 comes to rest on the real estate location 40. A player may obtain one of the real estate locations 40, and then collect payment from an opponent player in response to a token 34 of the opponent player resting on the obtained real estate location 40.
In another embodiment, the invention may be a method of playing the board game, as shown in the flow chart of
Similarly, the board game may be played by providing (Step 250) a female player card deck, cards of which display an adult themed instruction suitable for a female player. A female player may be selected (Step 300) for a turn and draw a card from the female player card deck. The female player may perform the instruction displayed on the drawn card (Step 400).
The method may provide (Step 600) an avatar card deck. The male player may decide (Decision 500) whether to perform the instruction himself, or utilize an avatar card, which may substitute for the male player when the adult themed instructions involve something the player is uncomfortable doing, for example undressing in front of others. In this case, the male player may select (Step 650) the appropriate avatar depicting the various undressing stages of the male player and display that card instead of performing the action himself.
Similarly, the female player may decide (Decision 500) whether to perform the instruction herself, or utilize an avatar card, which may substitute for the female player when the adult themed instructions involve something the player is uncomfortable doing, for example undressing in front of others. In this case, the female player may select (Step 650) the appropriate avatar depicting the various undressing stages of the female player and display that card instead of performing the action herself.
The substrate may be provided to have a path having an order of locations. The substrate 13 has locations where a token 34 may reside, and at least some of those may be real estate locations 40. The locations correspond to a direction along which tokens may be moved Each player may move his/her respective token along the path. The distance the player may move his or her token along the path may be determined by a random distance generator. For example, the random distance generator may be a pair of dice, and a player may throw (Step 700) the dice to determine the distance to move (Step 800) that player's token along the path.
Although the present invention has been described with respect to one or more particular embodiments, it will be understood that other embodiments of the present invention may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Hence, the present invention is deemed limited only by the appended claims and the reasonable interpretation thereof.
