         7 . The foldable game board apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the inner wall includes a pair of inner walls extending between the at least two sidewalls, and each of the pair of inner walls include at least one opening formed therethrough. 
     
     
         8 . The foldable game board apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the opening in the pair of inner walls permits communication of game pieces between a first area and a second area of at least one game board. 
     
     
         9 . The foldable game board apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein each of the at least two game boards include game pieces and game elements. 
     
     
         10 . The foldable game board apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein in the folded positioned, the storage space is configured for holding one or more game elements, game pieces, and legs. 
     
     
         11 . The foldable game board apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the at least two game boards include game elements, and wherein each game element is one of fixed and moveable. 
     
     
         12 . The foldable game board apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein at least one game board of the at least two game boards use game pieces having magnets. 
     
     
         13 . The foldable game board apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein at least a first game piece having a magnet thereon is positioned on at least one of the at least two game boards, and at least a second game piece having a magnet thereon is positioned below the one game board on at least another game board, and wherein when a player moves the at least second game piece in order to move the at least first game piece in order to play the game on the at least one game board. 
     
     
         14 . The foldable game board apparatus of  claim 13 , further comprising at least one leg connectable to a portion of the foldable game board apparatus in order to raise the foldable game board apparatus above and away from a surface. 
     
     
         15 . The foldable game board apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the at least one leg comprises at least two legs, and each leg formed to connect to an edge of the foldable game board apparatus. 
     
     
         16 . The foldable game board apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the at least two legs include a cross piece which interconnects the at least two legs. 
     
     
         17 . The foldable game board apparatus of  claim 16 , wherein the pair of legs and the cross piece are configured to be removed and held within the storage space when the foldable game board apparatus is in the closed, folded position. 
     
     
         18 . The foldable game board apparatus of  claim 17 , wherein one game board of the at least two game boards forms an inner surface defining the storage space, and the at least the other of the at least two game boards forms an outer when the foldable game board apparatus is positioned in the folded position. 
     
     
         19 . A foldable game board apparatus, comprising:
