Hex

By: Xlythe

A board game brought to life on Android.

Features & Capabilities

Hex is a simple game where two players race to connect their sides of the board. The winner is the first to build a solid path connecting their two sides.

Play locally against a computer or pass the device between friends (ahem rivals). Further your game by logging in with Google+ to unlock achievements and play online.

Settings give you the option to create your own customized house rules. Change the board size from 4x4 to 30x30, enable (or disable) first move swap, and set a timer for speed runs.
