    Abstract: A board game includes a folding board having a plurality of generally planar board segments joined to form a large planar play surface by a plurality of hinges. The folding board is configurable in a closed configuration suitable for storage or transport by successively folding the various planar segments in a generally inwardly rolling succession of folds from each end of the board. The board game further includes a generally rectangular box supported at one end of the folding board which may opened and is therefore a convenient storage for loose items such as game play tokens or the like.
