Abstract:

A board game to be played by two or more players. The game board includes an outer ring of situation spaces and an inner ring of situation spaces with access from the outer ring to the inner ring being provided at one corner situation space. Player game pieces of contrasting colors are made in the shape of a house, and game dice are used to determine the order of play and the movement of the player game pieces. Two stacks of situation cards are provided: the roach cards indicate the type of roaches that infest the player house, and action cards indicate what actions that can or cannot be taken to dispose of the roaches. A roach coach is moved to the position of the players when it is their turn. The coach has a hinged roof that supports the two stacks of situation cards, and a hinged spring biased platform that ejects roaches from the coach onto the game board when a player draws a specified roach card.
