ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus is comprised of a plurality of six sided, hexagonal, tiles each tile having one planar side which is divided by indicia into six separate triangular shaped spaces, with each space being one of two differentiating colors in accordance with the mathematical possibilites of combinations or arrangement of such colors for all of the tiles where no two tiles are alike. A division line divides the tile into two sections of three triangular spaces. In one of the sections a third indicia or dot is placed at the center triangular space on a certain number of tiles, as a further identifying mark in the playing of the game. Two additional hexagonal pieces are of solid color one of one color the other of the other color. One of such additional pieces includes the third indicia in every other space and includes no division line. The game is played by matching three or more spaces, color for color or third indicia, i.e., dot for dot with attempts by the players to shift the lesser of the mathematical opportunites of play to other player or players.
