Abstract
A modified chess game and game board having a hexagonal shape and 217 hexagonal spaces which can be played by two or three players simultaneously. The hexagonal spaces which make up the game board are alternately colored so that no two adjacent spaces are of the same color. Connecting spaces are located between each of the adjacent hexagonal spaces and these connecting spaces are of a color that is different from the color of the two adjacent spaces which they connect. The game also includes 19 playing pieces for each player. The game board can also be used to play a game of checkers.
