Abstract

Games for two or more players, wherein each attempts to be the first to traverse a path consisting of a series of tasks, are disclosed. Game components such as collectible trading cards (10) may be used to represent tasks (42), movers (40), and effects (44), and the game may include a racing theme. Players may form a path by arranging player-selected task cards on a playing surface, each task card including indicia reperesenting a task, such as a numerical value. Players may then move mover cards along the path, each mover card including indicia representing attributes (72) of the mover to indicate whether the mover is able to accomplish a selected task, such as a corresponding numerical value. Players may play effect cards to modify the attribuites of the movers, such as to accomplish a task or hinder an opponent's progress, and to modify game rules and other aspects of the game environment.
