Simple Hex: A Two-Player Connection Game
Simple Hex is a captivating two-player connection game with straightforward rules, making it easy to learn. Players choose red or blue and take turns coloring empty cells on the game board. The objective is to create a connected path of your colored cells linking opposite sides of the board. The first player to complete this connection wins.
The game offers "Play with AI," "Play with Friend," and "Pass & Play" modes. The AI mode features three difficulty levels (easy, medium, hard), with the AI able to play first or second. Alternatively, you can play against a friend using separate devices ("Play with Friend") or share a single device ("Pass & Play").
While simple to learn, Simple Hex offers a challenging strategic depth. An undo button lets you revert your last move(s) – though this feature is not yet available in AI mode.
To balance the inherent first-player advantage in Hex, a "Steal Move" option allows the second player to switch places with the first player after the first move. This forces the first player to consider moves that avoid immediate defeat. This option is also unavailable in AI mode.
Three board sizes (7x7, 9x9, and 11x11) provide a gradual increase in complexity and playtime.
