Abstract:

A board game, a method for timing or determining the length of time for a player or a team's turn, and a timing device for timing the length of time for a player or team's turn are all disclosed. The disclosed board game has an Egyptian mummy theme and includes a board that can be folded in the shape of a pyramid. Players move around the board, collect tokens and try to avoid being landed upon or landing upon a mummy token, which also moves around the board during the course of the game. Tokens are moved according to a paired or rolled dice. The dice are rolled repeatedly during a player's turn and the length of time for a player's turn is determined by a timing device which includes a top element housed within a cubical shell. A rip cord is used to spin the top within the shell and the shell is placed on a base and allowed to spin on one of its corners as the top spins inside the shell. The turn is over when the top and shell loses their speed causing the shell to fall on one of its outer flat faces. The timing device disclosed herein makes for a very fast paced and exciting board game.
