ABSTRACT:
A multi-level game board apparatus, adapted to be played with playing pieces such as chess men or the like, consists of a chess or checker board divided into a plurality of levels for play. The board appears, in plan view, to have the arrangement of bilaterally colored dark and light squares of the shape and number of squares of a conventional chess or checker board. The board, however, is separated into a central portion at one level and a plurality of surrounding portions of square configuration separately supported at least at one other level. The separate square portions supported at another level are separately supported on support members permitting rotation of each square portion about its center. In the play of the game, the playing pieces are placed on the board initially, and are moved, as if all of the portions of the board were in a single plane. The game differs from a standard game board, however, in that one or more of said portions supported at different levels may be rotated to position a playing piece at a different relative location without moving the piece on the surface of the board.
