Hex is a board game played on a hexagonal grid, usually in the shape of a 10 by 10 or a 11 by 11 rhombus.

 Havannah: the Twilight Zone
Havannah is not self-explanatory in the sense that contemplating the idea 'connecting by placement' on a hexgrid, would lead you automatically up to it.
I introduced the game at the university's math center where huge coffee breaks were usually filled with Chess and Bridge.
This is not uncommon in connection games, and we weren't completely unaware of it and playing like stupid or anything, but we were simply too focused on local initiative.

 Y (game) -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Y is typically played on a triangular board with hexagonal spaces; the "official" Y board has three points with five-connectivity instead of six-connectivity, but it is just as playable on a regular triangle.
As in most connection games, the size of the board changes the nature of the game; small boards lend towards pure tactical play, whereas larger boards tend to make the game more strategic.
However, this sort of artificial construction on a Y board is extremely uncommon, and the games have different enough tactics (outside of constructed situations) to be considered separate, though related.

 Formalisation of the game Havannah
Also a game ends when one of the players has reached a wining position, which is a minimal wining position.
Now we can define the set of all games as sequences of board positions, where the first position is the empty board and the last position does not have any valid proceedings.
A player is defined as a mapping of all game board positions to a proceeding game board position that would represent the move that the player would make in the given situation.

 Business Software Review : Article 'Casino game'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Casino games often offer the player the illusion of control in which the player is given choices, but the choices do not eliminate the player's long-term disadvantage (the house advantage).
For example, if one game was played by betting what number a roll of a die would give, instead of paying 6 times the amount bet for winning (because its a 1 in 6 chance) the casino only pays 5 times the amount bet.
A game of chance is a game whose outcome is strongly influenced by some randomizing device, and upon which contestants frequently wager money.

A game cannot be a good game if it is often drawn, and when one first invents a game one does not know how drawish it is going to be.
So, the game will end either with White forming a line, and winning, or Black forming a line in the center area, which is also a win for White.
The center is the focal point of the game, and there is not as much room for keeping your options open.

 Y (game) - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Y (game)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Y is an abstract strategy board game invented by Craige Schenstead (now Ea Ea) and Charles Titus.
It is a member of the connection game family inhabited by Hex, Havannah, TwixT, and others; it is also an early member in a long line of games that Ea Ea has developed, each game more complex but also more generalised.
As in most games of this type, one player takes the part of Black and one takes the part of White; they place stones on the board one at a time, neither removing nor moving any previously-placed stones, and the pie rule can be used to mitigate any first-move advantage.

 Pie rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Effectively, the second player becomes the first player, and it is as if that move was his, and the game is now proceeding.
If they "cheat" and make one slice much larger than the other, you will obviously pick that one; it is in their best interests to cut two slices which are very close to the same size.
The game of Orbit uses a "refined" pie rule, which technically has the "real" pie rule as a subset; like Hex being a subset of Y, however, the "refined" pie rule complicates matters considerably.

It is similar to the game Hex, however the winning condition is different.
Both Hex and Havannah have the concept of virtual connections (VCs): Two cells on the board, which can be considered connected for a certain player even if the opponent is allowed to move first locally.
a "virtual" connection in the last phase of the game, in contrast to hex, is only winning, if the opponent is not able to complete a connection faster.
