ABSTRACT:
A game board for use in placing a modified version of the ancient board game GO. The board contains a rectangular arrangement of equi-dimensional, contiguous hexagons. Nine predetermined points are marked on the board in the form of one point located in the center area of the center hexagon and eight points, symmetrically located around the one central point. Two differently colored sets of stones are also provided. A different variation to the game includes two rows of colored spaces at each end of the board and apertures at the center of each hexagon and at the corner of each hexagon. The apertures serve to receive pegs which are placed therein.
