ABSTRACT:
A method of playing a pattern forming game for two or more players. The method comprises the steps of obtaining a hexagonal playing surface divided into a plurality of triangular spaces, the triangular spaces being arranged so as to form a plurality of overlapping star shaped patterns arid a plurality of sets of parallel rows of triangular spaces; obtaining a plurality of triangular game pieces, each of the game pieces being sized so as to substantially cover a triangular space on the playing surface when placed thereover; assigning each player the game pieces of a particular color which is distinct from the color of game pieces assigned to an opponent; determining a sequential playing order to be followed by the players in turn; sequentially performing player turns according to the player order, each player turn comprising the steps of placing at least one of his/her game pieces over a space on the playing surface and replacing an opponent's game piece associated with an adjacent space, with a game piece of the player performing the turn; and calculating each player's game score based upon an extent of coverage of a player's game pieces over each of the star-shaped and row-shaped patterns on the playing surface.
