Abstract
A foldable portable game board including a platform for playing board and card games outdoors where adverse conditions might displace the location of game elements and subsequently interrupt the game. One surface of the platform supports a plurality of card engaging members such as elastic bands. The bands may be placed in any orientation on the playing surface of the platform to accommodate a number of cards at selected locations. Another surface of the platform may be magnetized to prevent the dislocation of game elements from adverse conditions that would interrupt the game. The platform may also be fitted with attachable legs, allowing conversion of the game board to a table.
