Claim:
A method of playing a board game, for at least two players, the board game comprising: a generally transparent upper surface member, provided with surface indicia relevant to game play, the surface indicia including spaces for placement of player tokens; a peripheral edge connected to the upper surface member; at least one aperture in the peripheral edge for receiving a tile member, the at least one aperture disposed beneath the spaces for placement of player tokens, the at least one aperture including a lower surface provided with aperture indicia relevant to game play and open to the upper surface member to enable observation of the aperture indicia; at least one tile member for selective insertion within the at least one aperture, the at least one tile member provided with tile indicia relevant to game play; at least two player tokens for movement across the upper surface member; and at least one die for determining an amount of movement for each of the at least two player tokens across the upper surface member; the method comprising the steps of: a. placing the at least two player tokens at a selected location on the surface indicia; b. allowing the at least two players to alternate rolling the at least one die to determine the amount of movement for each of the at least two player tokens across the upper surface member; c. moving each of the at least two player tokens by thusly determined amounts of movement; d. when moving one of the at least two player tokens to a space above an aperture, observing the aperture indicia, the aperture indicia providing game instruction; e. responding to the game instruction provided by the aperture indicia; and f. in the event that the aperture is empty, allowing the player to insert a tile member into the aperture, covering the aperture indicia and allowing observation of the tile indicia, which tile indicia provides game instruction.
