Play this game of hex against a family member or against the computer. The rules are simple, but the game is hard! Rules:
Players choose a color and take turns. On each turn one counter is placed in an empty hexagonal cell.
Counters may not be moved except with the swap rule.
The first player to form a connected path of their counters linking the opposing sides of the board marked by their colour wins.
The four corner hexagons belong to both adjacent sides.
Swap rule: on their first move the second player may move normally, or choose to swap their piece with that placed by the first player.
Play a game of uno or war (whichever cards you have). Discuss colors, numbers, what numbers are higher or lower.
