1. A board game comprising:
- a playing board having a generally hexagonal configuration including a playing area separated into six regions by three main axes, each said region having a triangular area, each said region having indicia representing a trait of a personality and each said region including a plurality of contiguous hexagonal areas;
at least one set of cards printed with questions to be answered by the players to determine their progress during the game;
said three main axes having a common intersection;
opposed pairs of said six regions of said playing board representing opposing personality traits;
each of said six regions having a plurality of sub-areas comprising groups of contiguous hexagonal areas which have indicia representing characteristics subordinate to the personality trait represented by respective said regions and which together comprise a description of the personality represented by each said region;
a first set of tokens for predicting a final position of a player, for placement along an edge of said playing area adjacent a location representing a final predicted board position;
answers to questions posed by ones of said of cards being awarded points based upon the personality trait indicated;
a second set of tokens for indicating progress of a player during a game;
said second set of tokens respectively providing a device by which the accuracy of the prediction is tested by comparing its position and progress on the board with that of the predictor token;
the nature and value of the answers to said questions posed by said cards testing the accuracy of the players predictions of the personalities involved, manifested as the sum of the individual values of the answers provided by each player during the game which are listed on a chart provided, the individual values demonstrating numerically the relationship between the player'"'"'s response to each question and said main axes on the board.
