As stated earlier, the outer playing area consists of spaces that will instruct you to add or remove cholesterol from your heart as you land on them depending on what that space implies. For example, landing on the "daily aerobics" space will allow you to remove cholesterol, whereas landing on the "three donut breakfast" space will demand that you add cholesterol. Among these spaces are "special spaces" that hold some surprises. You may land on a "heart space," where you will need to choose a card from one of two decks. You may land on the "choices we make" space where you will make a choice on your lifestyle or habits. Other spaces like "take a vacation" and "happy birthday" will add lots of interest. There is one real special space that becomes more important as the game nears the end. It's the "cholesterol exchange" space that requires you to swap your heart, and the cholesterol in it with another player. Depending on how filled all the players' hearts are, can make this space quite interesting. This space can turn the health of a player around very suddenly.
