    Abstract: The present invention is a game apparatus comprising a board formed from a plurality of hexagonal shape spaces. The shapes are linearly and vertically disposed to provide for a preceding column to be offset from subsequent column. Located on opposite sides of the board are goals. A first set of distinguishable playing piece and a second set of playing pieces are provided. Each set of playing pieces includes seven components: a Ballcarrier, a Fullback, two Flankers and three Guards. The Ballcarrier is the only piece that can score and scoring is achieved when the Ballcarrier crosses or lands on the opposing team's goal line. The other pieces have various strength levels, which provide for each piece to move a specific number of spaces and at a specific configuration. Pieces are not taken or jump, so that all pieces remain on board during the play of the game.
