Simple Hex

Simple Hex is a local two-player connection game. The rules are simple, this game can be learned quickly. Each player chooses a colour, red or blue. Players take turns colouring a single empty cell within the overall playing board. The goal for each player is to form a connected path of those cells linking opposite sides of the board marked by their colours. The first player to complete the connection wins the game.

The game is easy to learn, but hard to master. If you do not like your last move(s), you can use the undo button.

Steal Move: Since in Hex the first player has a distinct advantage, the second player has an option to switch positions with the first player after the first player makes the first move. Thus the first player is forced to choose a first move that will not give a definite win.

Please share your feedback, especially if you have found issues. We introduced 3 board sizes 5X5, 8X8 and 11X11 so that users gradually mature to play longer versions of the game. Hence the name, Simple Hex.
