| 2000 | Invention patented by Richard A. Chille on September 1st, 2000. Abstract: A board game for teaching responsible drinking to a plurality of players has a playing board having a start position and an end position connected by a pathway that extends about the surface of the playing board between the start position and the end position. The board game further includes a plurality of vehicle game pieces, each vehicle game piece being assigned to one of the plurality of players, and a plurality of a taxi game pieces. At least some of the playing positions provide an instruction, the instruction sometimes including a negative consequence of drinking instruction, or a cab calling instruction. The negative consequence of drinking instruction provides for some consequence having a negatively perceived effect upon the player who lands upon the playing position. The cab calling instruction allows the player to replace the vehicle game piece with the taxi game piece. The taxi game piece has the advantage of ignoring any of the negative consequence of drinking instructions upon which it might land, thereby teaching the players the desirability of calling a cab when a drinking. |
