Logical board game and game of chance on a star-shaped board

A board for playing games of logic or chance composed of a plurality of hexagonal playing fields arranged in a six-pointed configuration, each hexagonal playing field having six edges of equal length arranged to form six corners, said board consisting of:

• a first hexagonal playing field having a first edge adjacent to a second edge that are connected to form a first primary corner of said board;
• a first row of hexagonal playing fields connecting to and extending from said first hexagonal playing field, said first row of hexagonal playing fields comprising a plurality of interlocking hexagonal playing fields each having a pair of edges parallel to the first edge of the first hexagonal playing field, said first row of hexagonal playing fields terminating in a last hexagonal playing field having two edges that connect to form a second primary corner of said board;
• a second row of hexagonal playing fields connecting to and extending from said first hexagonal playing field, said second row of hexagonal playing fields comprising a plurality of interlocking hexagonal playing fields each having a pair of edges parallel to the second edge of the first hexagonal playing field, said second row of hexagonal playing fields terminating in a last hexagonal playing field having two edges that connect to form a third primary corner of said board;
• a third row of hexagonal playing fields connecting to and extending from said last hexagonal playing field of said first row of hexagonal playing fields to said last hexagonal playing field of said second row of hexagonal playing fields, said third row of hexagonal playing fields comprising a plurality of interlocking hexagonal playing fields each having a pair of edges parallel to one another, said third row of hexagonal playing fields spanning between said second and third primary corners of said board such that said first, second, and third rows of hexagonal playing fields form an equilateral triangle bounded by said first, second, and third primary corners of said board;
• a plurality of internal rows of hexagonal playing fields parallel to said first row of hexagonal playing fields and connecting to and extending from said second row of hexagonal playing fields to said third row of hexagonal playing fields, each said internal row of hexagonal playing fields comprising a plurality of interlocking hexagonal playing fields each having a pair of edges parallel to one another;
• a first triangular region of hexagonal playing fields connecting to and extending from a midpoint of said first row of hexagonal playing fields, said first triangular region comprising a plurality of hexagonal playing fields arranged to form an equilateral triangle, said first triangular region of hexagonal playing fields having a point opposite said first row of hexagonal playing fields that forms a first secondary corner of said board;
• a second triangular region of hexagonal playing fields connecting to and extending from a midpoint of said second row of hexagonal playing fields, said second triangular region comprising a plurality of hexagonal playing fields arranged to form an equilateral triangle, said second triangular region of hexagonal playing fields having a point opposite said second row of hexagonal playing fields that forms a second secondary corner of said board;
• a third triangular region of hexagonal playing fields connecting to and extending from a midpoint of said third row of hexagonal playing fields, said third triangular region comprising a plurality of hexagonal playing fields arranged to form an equilateral triangle, said third triangular region of hexagonal playing fields having a point opposite said third row of hexagonal playing fields that forms a third secondary corner of said board, said first, second, and third primary corners and said first, second, and third secondary corners defining an outer boundary of said game board, said outer boundary encompassing said first, second, and third rows of hexagonal playing fields and said first, second, and third triangular regions of hexagonal playing fields;
• and further consisting of at least five majors chess pieces and at least five pawns assigned to a player of said board game, said major chess pieces initially arranged on at least a portion of said outer boundary of said game board extending from one of said first, second, or third primary corners of said game board, said at least five major chess pieces comprising:
• a king configured to move from one playing field to any one neighboring playing field;
• at least one queen, each said quenn configured to move from one playing field to any number of neighboring playing fields in a diagonal direction that are not occupied by any pieces of an opposing player;
• a rook configured to move from one playing field to any number of neighboring playing fields in a vertical direction, said rook being further configured to capture any pieces of said opposing player occupying any neighboring playing fields located in said vertical direction from said rook;
• a bishop configured to move from one playing field to any number of neighboring playing fields in a diagonal direction, said bishop being further configured to capture any pieces of said opposing player occupying any neighboring playing fields located in said diagonal direction from said bishop;
• and
• at least one knight configured to move from one playing field along a path to another playing field, said path comprising two neighboring playing fields in either a vertical or diagonal first direction, followed by one neighboring playing field in a second direction 120 degrees from said first direction;
• and
• each said pawn configured to move from one playing field to a neighboring playing field in either a forward vertical or diagonal direction, not to exceed a distance of two neighboring playing fields, each said pawn further configured to be promoted to any of said major pieces of the same player except for a king.
