ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus which may be played by two or more players, having playing pieces in the shape of equilateral hexagons for each player and a pre-marked game board having a matrix of contiguous spaces disposed thereon in the shape of equilateral hexagons which accommodate the playing pieces. At least two different types of playing pieces (and as many as three types) may be provided, i.e. offensive pieces and defensive pieces, and optionally hybrid pieces known as offensive-defensive pieces. The offensive playing pieces are of a variety of different types all of which provide a distinctive, continuous path from one peripheral edge of the piece to at least one other peripheral edge. The defensive pieces are provided in a variety of types all of which provide a distinctive, non-continuous path. Offensive-defensive pieces have characteristics of both offensive and defensive playing pieces. The object of the game is for each player, or team of players, to form a continuous, distinctive path from designated starting spaces to designated ending spaces.
