- Description

The Kirby Board Game is a board game in the Kirby series. It was developed and manufactured by Wendy's in November 2003 as a promotion for Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. It was packaged with Kids' Meals as one of five Kirby-themed toys.

Gameplay
The Kirby Board Game is a basic game. After choosing one of the two game boards, the youngest player flips a card on the card pile. He/she moves his/her game piece the appropriate number of spaces unless the card flipped is the "lose your turn" card. Certain spaces benefit or hinder the player who lands on it, granting extra turns or forcing him/her to move backward. The player who reaches the finish first wins. The Game One board has 22 spaces while the Game Two board has 29.

Included with the game are 16 cards: Five ones, three twos, three threes, two fours, two fives, and one "lose your turn." On the first flip, the first player has a 31.25% chance of flipping one, a 18.75% chance of flipping two or three, a 12.5% chance of flipping four or five, and a 6.25% chance of losing a turn.

Players continue moving around the board following instructions on each space until someone reaches FINISH."
