A board game apparatus comprises a game board having a playing area divided into a plurality of cartels. Contest tokens are movable about the playing area between adjacent cartels for occupying a cartel, challenging opposing players to the right to occupy a cartel, and for defending such a challenge. A resource calculator designates at least two resources, generates a production and a consumption index for each resource, and provides instructions for exchanging surplus resources. A common market place is provided for exchanging a quantity of one resource for a quantity of another resource. A chance apparatus determines the right to occupy a cartel challenged by a player, whereby in playing the game, each player receives resource tokens in accordance with the assigned production index for each cartel which the player occupies, and must balance production and consumption of each of his resources. Players may withhold selected resources from the market place, and/or exchange surplus resource tokens for contest tokens and challenge opposing players for the right to occupy a cartel, so as to ultimately obtain simultaneous occupation of a preselected, game-ending number of the cartels.
