Abstract
A numerical sequence board game. The numerical sequence board game includes a gridded board and corresponding playing pieces. The hexagonal-shaped playing pieces may be placed on corresponding hexagonal grids on the gridded board during game play. Each playing piece may include numerical indicia that can be used to form numerical sequences with other playing pieces, wherein the numerical sequences may be formed in one or more directions on the gridded board.

A board game comprising:
- a gridded board having a plurality of grids, each one of the plurality of grids having a hexagonal shape;
- a plurality of playing pieces or tiles that are place-able on the plurality of grids, each one of the plurality of playing pieces having a hexagonal shape that corresponds to and that is no larger than the hexagonal shape of the plurality of grids on the gridded board,
- wherein each one of the plurality of playing pieces includes a numerical indicia on at least one face of the playing piece;
- and wherein each one of said plurality of playing pieces is place-able adjacent to one another on the gridded board to form a numerical sequence of numbers based on the numerical indicia on the at least one face of each playing piece, wherein the numerical sequence of numbers is formed in at least one of a horizontal direction, a diagonal up direction and a diagonal down direction,
- wherein for each numerical sequence, a numerical difference that is determined by the user, exists between a first playing piece in the numerical sequence and a second playing piece that is adjacent to the first playing piece, wherein the same numerical difference also exists between the second playing piece and a third playing piece that is placed adjacent to the second playing piece.

A method comprising:
- providing a gridded board having a plurality of grids, each one of the plurality of grids having a hexagonal shape;
- placing a plurality of playing pieces or tiles on the plurality of grids, each one of the plurality of playing pieces having a hexagonal shape that corresponds to and that is no larger than the hexagonal shape of the plurality of grids on the gridded board,
- wherein each one of the plurality of playing pieces includes a numerical indicia on at least one face of the playing piece;
- and wherein each one of said plurality of playing pieces is place-able adjacent to one another on the gridded board to form a numerical sequence of numbers based on the numerical indicia on the at least one face of each playing piece, wherein the numerical sequence of numbers is formed in at least one of a horizontal direction, a diagonal up direction and a diagonal down direction,
- wherein for each numerical sequence, a numerical difference that is determined by the user, exists between a first playing piece in the numerical sequence and a second playing piece that is adjacent to the first playing piece, wherein the same numerical difference also exists between the second playing piece and a third playing piece that is placed adjacent to the second playing piece.
