These pieces are moved or placed on a pre-marked board (playing surface) and often include elements of table, card, role-playing, and miniatures games as well. Many board games feature a competition between two or more players.

Hair is one of the defining characteristics of mammals. The human body, apart from areas of glabrous skin, is covered in follicles which produce thick terminal and f ..., thick lips, a big Human nose, nose and glasses (to represent Myopia, nearsightedness). A card's characteristics need not be different, so, for example, a man could have two symbols for big ears and one for orange hair, or three "glasses" symbols. Gameplay Each player represents a "family" in which one of the genetic traits is dominant, and therefore wishes to pass ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
