Try to create a continuous chain of pieces linking your two sides of the board. Hex is traditionally played on an 11x11 board. This implementation uses smaller boards, and the first player is prohibited from playing his first piece onto the center. Note that the referee is not actually a player (he just checks to see whether someone has won), so don't try to play him. This is a beta release. Please report bugs to me at jeffrey_a_roy@yahoo.com. Hex was discovered independently by Piet Hein and John Nash. In general, the best offense is a good defense. Focus on preventing your opponent from forming an unbroken chain rather than on forming your own chain. With perfect play, the first player can always force a win. A draw is impossible in this game. |
