Abstract: A board game designed arounda "monster" theme wherein the object of the game is to proceed from a starting area to a weapons pickup area while avoiding capture by the monster and after pick up of a weapon to be the first to hunt down and destroy the monster. The board game apparatus includes a game board having a playing surface and a travel path defined by a plurality of spaced apart play stations extending between a starting area and the pickup area for weapons. A plurality of playing pieces are adapted to be moved along the travel path between the play stations and a chance device is utilized for directing the movement of the playing pieces along the travel path. The game board playing surface also includes a plurality of spaced apart foot spaces arranged in pairs to straddle the travel path. A toy figure in the form of a monster having spaced apart feet is adapted to stand on pairs of the foot spaces and straddle the travel path when the monster is in a standing position. The monster includes a body having a pan for holding a quantity of cohesive gelatinous material or gel and the pan includes at least one opening which permits the gel material to drool downwardly into contact with the playing surface to provide a cohesive strand which forms an impediment to the movement or placement of the playing pieces along the path that is straddled by the monster. The cohesive strands of gel may pass over and knock down a playing piece. If a player is successful in moving his playing piece to the weapons pickup area, he is permitted to take a "mine" which may be operated as a lever to upset the monster and thereby win the game. The player who destroys the monster is declared the winner of the game.
