       11 . A board game comprising:
 an enclosure wherein one portion of the enclosure comprises a panel wherein the panel comprises a board game design on the panel;   a means for black light illumination disposed with the enclosure; and   a means for providing substantially even illumination from the means for black light illumination for the panel with the board game design wherein the means for providing substantially even illumination is disposed with the means for black light illumination.   
   
   
       12 . The board game as set forth in  claim 11 , wherein the means for providing substantially even illumination is a flat mirror disposed within the enclosure below the panel such that the illumination from the means for black light illumination is reflected substantially even through the panel. 
   
   
       13 . The board game as set forth in  claim 12 , wherein the means for black light illumination is at least two tube shaped lights disposed within the enclosure in parallel. 
   
   
       14 . The board game as set forth in  claim 13 , wherein the board game further comprises legs attached with the enclosure and wherein the means for black light illumination further comprises an electrical supply line that connects with a source of electrical energy. 
   
   
       15 . The board game as set forth in  claim 14 , in combination with game pieces for use on the board game wherein a portion of the game pieces are painted such that the painted game pieces will be visible when exposed to the means for black light illumination and will produce a three dimension glow-in-the-dark effect. 
   
   
       16 . The board game as set forth in  claim 11 , in combination with game pieces for use on the board game.
