“Board Game”
“Board Game” is a board game is a game where players move their three or four pieces
around the board, attempting to get all of their pieces home before any other player. As
you play the game you might land on one of the colored spots where you have to draw
one of the cards from the middle. These cards can contain dares that the player has to
enact out, if the player refuses to go through with the dare then they get punished in game
for this. “Board Game” is a great time for teenagers and guaranteed to get a laugh out of
you.
Audience:
The game is intended for teenagers and young adults but I could definitely see some
adults having fun with this too. The reasoning for this is because of the dares the game
makes you do fairly wacky while not being too much for teens or younger adults. For the
amount of players that there can be, you can have 2-4 players at a time. Of course we
recommend having 4 players to have the maximum amount of fun while playing the
game.
First, what we did was come up with the concept for the game and what we wanted to do
was add dares to the game. So we took the fairly filmler concept of Sorry! and made dare
applicable to the game, so we came up with the rules of the game then started making the

physical game. We first started to make the box for the game and probably spent way too
much time on it, but we got it exactly how we wanted it. After this we started to write out
some ideas of what some of the dares that we wanted and sketching out the game itself.
How to Play:
Each player chooses 7 pawns of one color and places them in their Start. One player is
selected to play first. To begin the game, all of a player's four pawns are restricted to
Start; a player can only move them out onto the rest of the board if he or she rolls a 6,
then places a pawn on the space directly outside of start. If the player is in the middle of
the game and rolls a 6 then they can choose if they want to move a pawn out of the start
or move 10 spaces. A pawn can jump over any other pawn during its move. However,
two pawns cannot occupy the same square; a pawn that lands on a square occupied by
another player's pawn "bumps" that pawn back to its own Start. Players can not bump
their own pawns back to Start; if the only way to complete a move would result in a
player bumping their own. The last five squares before each player's Home are "Safety
Zones. Access is limited to pawns of the same color. Pawns inside the Safety Zones are
immune to being bumped by opponents' pawns or being switched with opponents' pawns.
However, if a pawn is forced to move backward out of the Safety Zone, it is no longer
considered "safe" and may be bumped by or switched with opponents' pawns as usual
until it re-enters the Safety Zone. pawn, the player's pawns remain in place and the player
loses their turn. When going around the board you might land on a green or red spot. If
you land on a green spot you draw a green card, which has positive effects for your
pawns in the game. You can also land on a red spot where you draw a red card, which

often has a negative effect on your pawns or you have to do a dare. If one doesn’t
