I've been away lots of times and half board means bed, breakfast and main meal in the evening - for if you're out during the day you can eat out - but you can also come and go as you please.
Full board is bed and 3 meals.

Half board means that your breakfast and evening meal is included in the price you have paid. In some cases you can choose to receive lunch instead of breakfast - the hotel will confirm this upon arrival.

it means that there isn't much to do so you are usually half bored. this can have ebnefits as time passes more slowly when you're bored. this way you get a longer holiday.
it also means you get breakfast and dinner.

Breakfast and Evening Meal but if you have something planned in the evening most hotels will let you swap it to lunch

Half Board means you pay for bed, breakfast, and evening meal -full board is all the above plus lunch as well -

I am amazed that so many people who haven't a clue put answers on here!
Half-board, or "demi-pension" in France means you get room, breakfast and one other meal per day. The other meal is normally always the evening meal, but often this can be swapped for a lunch, or indeed a packed lunch if you are going out for the whole day - depends on the standard of the hotel by which I mean whether they are keen on customer care, not how many stars they have.
If you are going on a package deal, look for the Ts & Cs (terms and conditions) in the back of the brochure, where they will usually clarify any terms used.
Have a nice time, wherever you go.

Usually it means you get breakfast and lunch but you're evening meal isn't included, but different hotels can vary on it, but basically it means you get board plus 2 meals.
