This document provides instructions and materials for a Halloween-themed board game called "Trick or Treat Game". The game involves 2 to 6 players who take turns moving their game pieces around a board from "START" to "FINISH". When a player lands on a "Trick" or "Treat" space, they draw a card that asks a question or gives an instruction that determines how many spaces they will move forward or backward. The first player to reach the "FINISH" space wins. Templates are provided to allow customization and printing of additional game materials.
