Hex is played on a rhombus of hexagons that starts empty. The lessons use a small 7×7 board.
Gold owns the top and bottom edges. Ivory owns the left and right edges. Gold moves first.
Each cell in the middle touches six others. Stones that touch are connected.
Once placed, stones never move and are never captured.
Your turn. Tap any empty cell to place a stone.
Try it: Place your first stone.
Those are the edges. Next: how to win.
