	Hex (board game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		The game was invented by the Danish mathematician Piet Hein, who introduced the game in 1942 at the Niels Bohr Institute, and independently by the mathematician John Nash in the late 1940s.
		Y and Havannah are considered by some to be generalizations of Hex; they differ primarily in requiring players to connect three or more edges of a polygonal board, rather than two selected edges of a parallelogram.

		Arrange these on the board on the outer spaces (one per space on the outer ring of the board), with the fl pieces closest to the fl player, and the white pieces closest to the white player.
		And of course, the board and pieces may be subject to the utility doctrine, making them difficult to protect, and the rules may be subject to the merger doctrine, likewise making them difficult to protect.
		About the hex idea: i think the most respectable idea behind this game is its simplcity of the possible movements, therefore the hex-solution would take away some of the simplicity - and thus the fun of it.

		Both sides can have units in the same hex and movement out of such a contested space is dependent on who currently has control, signified either by the national color of the hex or a control marker.

		Anyone who knows a little about Reiner Knizia’s games will know that the good Doctor loves games that deal with trying to get points in various different categories and then only score that category in which the player has the least.
		The goal of the game is, through clever placement, to obtain points in the different symbol colours.
		The author of the game has also come up with solitaire and team play, in which two teams of two play with each player not being able to see his partner’s tiles.
