Abstract
A board game includes hexagonal game pieces that are rotatable between discrete orientations at array locations on a game board as well as being movable between array locations, with game outcomes being dependent on facing indicia of adjacent game pieces of opposing players. Exemplary game pieces are hexagonal representations of turtles, the game board array locations also being hexagonal. Edge margin segments of each game piece have associated indicia representing the integers 1 through 6, and a moving piece having equal or superior indicia facing an opposing piece can “take” the opposing piece. Also disclosed is a method for using the board game.
