A hierarchical, multi-dimensional, strategy board game apparatus includes game boards having game spaces, posts for supporting the board members, and game pieces including a static piece, a pawn-like piece, a first promotion piece, and a second promotion piece. In playing the game, a base board is designated, along with a riser space, a promotion space, and a return space. Each player starts with a designated number of pieces, and takes turns to move their pieces in prescribed ways via the designated spaces as available. The players thereby attempt to attain higher levels for their pieces with respect to the boards, with means for promotion and demotion of the pieces and an in-hand ability to return them to play via the return space. The pieces may thus gain expanded movement capabilities for capturing other players' pieces and, ultimately, the static piece to win the game.
