Abstract 915,550. Board games. HUGHES, K. G. May 1, 1959 [May 1, 1958], No. 13919/58. Class 132 (2). In a board game, each player has two playing pieces moved as in accordance with the throw of a die, one around a peripheral instruction track 1 and the other on a map, principal locations 3 on which are joined by distinguished routes, denoting different modes of transport. Initiation money and travellers cheques, a fare table, two sets of hazard cards, and souvenir cards marked with prices are also provided. In play, each player is issued with imitation money and moves one piece round track 1 until it lands on an A, B, or C, square which directs which mode of travel is to be followed on the map. When the other piece on the map reaches its next principal location, the player must buy a souvenir card, pay his fare to the next location, draw a hazard card and then move his piece on track 1 to select the mode of travel to be used. Other squares on track 1 govern other activities and transactions.
