	Hex (board game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hex is a board game played on a hexagonal grid, theoretically of any size and several possible shapes, but traditionally as a 11x11 rhombus.
		The game was invented by the Danish mathematician Piet Hein, who introduced the game in 1942 at the Niels Bohr Institute, and also independently invented by the mathematician John Nash in 1947 at Princeton University.
		Hex is an abstract strategy game that belongs to the general category of "connection" games.

	RPGnet: Review of Hex Hex
		The game that we played was wild; and while I played many good, solid games there, some of the funniest moments of the convention came during my playing of Hex Hex.
		Hex Hex doesn’t pretend to be a game of deep strategy, rather it’s a blatant “take-that!” game, where players try to explode a “hex” that is being passed back and forth between players.
		Hex Hex is primarily going to be a hit with the “non-gamer” crowd, as its ease of game play and simplistic strategy probably won’t appeal to those seeking something heavier.

		The name Hex (note this is a link to a pdf file) was given to the game in 1952, when a commercial version was issued by the game company Parker Brothers.
		The game was later copyrighted in 1968 under a further name Con-Tac-Tix (note this is a link to a pdf file), and it is this name that it is given at Piet Hein's official site, though generally the game remains known as Hex.

		Hex is a pretty simple and fun game, and you can find a good description of it here, or just by doing a search for "hex game" or something similar.
		As in Hex, the goal is to connect your two sides with a continuous path of spaces occupied with your pieces, uninterrupted by empty spaces or spaces with your opponent's piece in them.
		This option is refered to as the "swap" or "pie" rule in some gaming jargons, and is a relatively standard aspect of the original game Hex.

	The Game of HEX (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Hex is a relatively new game since it was only introduced in the 1940s.
		The playing board of Hex consists of tessellating hexagons, which is the reason why one of the inventors of Hex (John F. Nash) created the game on his bathroom floor.
		This game requires the player to be flexible and use different strategies in the same game, since relying on only one strategy may lead to losing the game.

	Reverse Hexes
		Whenever another player is entitled to establish a base on your hex as a result of an interaction (bested you in an Attack, made a deal, etc), he or she simply stacks their tokens on top of one another and places them onto your hex as a base.
		PRAW: This is the hex with the warp, and smaller reverse warp.
		When using a power with game setup effects (such as Miser or Schizoid), set these effects at the beginning of the game but only use the effects when the associated power is in use.

	Hex Can't End in a Draw
		The game of Hex has been invented in 1942 by Piet Hein, reinvented in 1948 by John Nash, got its name in 1952 from a commercial distribution by Parker Brothers, and has been popularized by Martin Gardner in 1957.

		The most important fact known about the game is that, unlike some other games, it can't end in a draw.

		The maximum number of inventory items is 100 hex 64 but since the game adds picked up items at the end and scrolling thru the items doesn't wrap around from 1 to 100 it would take a long time to find the new items to use.

		Read about this (Chip) in Games magazine and it did look good-much like an old game show called Blockbusters where each cell was lettered and in order to get possession of the cell you had to answer the question assigned to that cell with an answer beginning with that letter.
		As the game is entirely open and finite and must end in a result (at most n x n moves, thus at most (n x n)factorial possible games, all having to end in a result), there must exist a winning strategy for one player or other.
		Note that Hex is a game where having an extra piece on the board must be advantageous - it can never be a nuisance or get in the way or anything.

		The result is that the game doesn’t seem balanced: it’s just too obvious that the computer is not playing well, and that the game is brain vs. brawn rather than brain vs. brain.

		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.
		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.
