ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a novel game board, game apparatus and game designed for play by two opposing players. The game is played upon a generally flat surfaced game board which contains a plurality of hexagram playing spaces symmetrically positioned in two outer rows and a plurality of assymmetrical hexagonal playing spaces positioned between the two outer rows. The hexagrams are provided upon the game board in the form of hexagons, the sides of which each have an abutting triangular space. The hexagonal spaces are designed to receive an equal number of major playing pieces for each player while the triangular spaces are designed for receiving minor playing pieces.
The major pieces may move into any adjacent hexagonal spacing, provided the pathway remains unguarded by one or more minor playing pieces. The minor playing pieces are permitted only to move forward into adjacent triangular spacings. A capturing move is made by moving a minor playing piece or a major playing piece into a spacing occupied by an opponent's corresponding playing piece and an entrapment is accomplished by blocking an opponent's ability to move a major playing piece.
