Abstract
A multiple board game apparatus comprises a board with first and second playing surfaces and a plurality of identical game pieces for playing a multiple number of board games. The first surface of the board is divided into triangles and the second surface is divided into hexagons. The vertexes of the triangles on the first surface form points of intersection. The total number of points of intersection on the first surface are equal in number to the total number of hexagons on the second surface. The level of difficulty of each game can be varied by playing on either the first or second side. The game pieces have a directional feature, a substantial thickness and are reversible to provide dual identification for each piece.
