ABSTRACT:
A game including a board with an hexagonal playing area having a plurality of contiguous, uniformly distributed hexagonal playing spaces thereon and adapted for use by either two or three players using two or three sets of playing pieces respectively. The periphery of the board playing area has six equal length sides each composed of seven playing spaces. Indicia on the playing area divides the outer row of playing spaces from the remaining interior playing spaces, with the interior spaces being used when two players play the game and with all spaces being used when three players play the game. The playing spaces are each one of three colors with no two adjacent spaces being of the same color. The sets of playing pieces are also differently colored and different playing pieces of subsets of a set are formed to include common features which define the way in which the playing pieces in a subset may be moved.
