Abstract
A game board has a board surface having a regular periodic pattern of seven identical regular hexagonal frames, one surrounded by the other six. Each frame is divided into 24 unit equilateral triangles by grid lines. Players in turns place polygonal playing pieces of different shapes, one by one, on the pattern so as to form a polygonal figure formed by one or more pieces on the board, covering a congruent polygonal figure defined by one or more unit triangles. Each player gains a predetermined number of points when the player can put a new piece in contact with the polygonal figure of the piece or pieces on the board along a full length of one side of the new piece.
