Abstract
A set of hexagonal playing pieces, of a shape which when played side to side in beehive pattern create a base, for successive interlocking levels of play. Each player attempts to place his tiles in the most strategically advantageous position.
Claims2
A game or amusement device consisting of a set of hexagonal playing pieces, which when arrayed side to side into a horizontal honeycomb patterned playing field, form the foundation for successive levels of interlocking play, said individual hexagonal pieces each have male protrusions on one surface, which match the female indentions on the opposite side of the piece, so that each tile interlocks with every other piece,
- said individual hexagonal pieces each have three male rhombic protrusions projecting up from three opposing corners on one surface, so that when the rhombic shapes of three adjoining pieces are together, they complete a single hexagonal male protrusions matching the hexagonal female indention on the underside of every piece;
- thus a fourth piece may rest in an interlocking fashion equally atop the three pieces beneath it.
