Disclosed is a game board that can be transformed during game play to provide alternative playing surfaces to enhance player enjoyment of a game. The game board has at least one mobile section connected to the game board. This mobile section is movable between a closed position and an open position. When in the closed position the mobile section displays a first playing surface and when in the open position the mobile section displays a second playing surface that is different from the first playing surface. This enhances gameplay enjoyment and variety to encourage repeated game play. This game board design can be adapted for use in a wide variety of types of board games.
