This game entitled "Born Again" employs a board having a path on it formed by a sequence of divisions in which each division represents a period of a life-cycle beginning with birth. The life-cycle path is disposed within another path which is endless and contains blocks representing real estate or other property. Each player is given parents who are represented by tokens that move along the life-cycle track. Each player is represented by a Born Again token which is movable along the life-cycle path. The player is Born Again when the player throws the correct combination of chromosome symbols on a pair of chromosome dice. The player's family is represented by a family traveler token which is movable along the endless path in accordance with throws of standard dice. The game permits a player to acquire a spouse and raise a family. The spouse and other members of the family are represented by appropriate tokens.
