Description

Hexcite is a new type of competitive game, created by Gajin.

Basic Rules of Play: Players take turns placing playing pieces in the shape of familiar polygons--triangles, rhomboids, trapezoids, and hexagons--on the gameboard, competing for points based on the placement of their own pieces. The rules are very simple, which will make the actual sophistication of the game itself very surprising indeed.

Special Characteristics: Like chess or shogi, the game's developments are complex and wide-ranging; the more you play, the more intense it gets. The random distribution of playing pieces, and unexpected changes of direction in the course of play make it enjoyable for beginners as well as experienced players. The geometric shapes of the gameboard and playing pieces are unique and attractive.
