Abstract

A board game simulates competitive events and terminology. The game is played by: a player placing at least one wager to play in the wagering game; casting three dice to generate a random event, the three dice consisting of two dice whose exposed numbers are used to define a numeric result, and the third die used to characterize that numeric result in event result tables; comparing the random event of the casting of the three dice with the game table to determine wagering or game events from the random event; and resolving wins or losses based upon the random event; moving a game piece in a continuing of the wagering game; or both resolving wins or losses based upon the random event and moving a game piece in a continuing of the wagering game.

1 . A board competition game comprising the steps of:
 a player taking at least one gaming piece to move on a board, and selecting one of two teams to play in the board game;   casting three dice to generate a random event, the three dice consisting of two dice whose exposed numbers are used to define a numeric result, and the third die used to characterize that numeric result in event result tables that move the game piece on the board;   comparing the random event of the casting of the three dice with the result tables to determine game events from the random event; and   resolving game events from the table by moving the game piece on the game board, and moving a game piece in a continuation of the wagering game with additional casting of the three dice at least until a scoring event occurs or an end of possession outcome occurs where possession of the game piece changes to another player; and   after a scoring event occurs using the three dice to generate a random event, awarding points to the player.

       10 . The board game of  claim 6  wherein a surface is used to move a game piece an amount related to the numeric total of the two dice and an event outcome table associated to the numeric result by a random outcome on the third die according to rules of play of the game. 
   
   
       11 . The board game of  claim 10  wherein the surface has markings and words relating the wagering game to a sporting event.
