Abstract
The invention is a game apparatus integrating board games with computer games. Game play information and data defining a board game playing surface are received by a client computer from a server computer over a computer network. The client computer displays game play information to a player and prints a playing surface of a board game. The game playing surface and game play information may be adjusted dynamically before play and during play to account for differing numbers, relationships, skill, knowledge and maturity of players, or other characteristics of the players, or in response to actions taken by the players during the game itself.
