How to play Hex
Click an empty hexagon to place your stone. You win by forming an unbroken chain of your stones linking your two opposite edges; the computer tries to link the other two. Because the board always fills to a single connection, Hex can never be a draw — block the computer while you build your own bridge.

Hex — frequently asked questions
Can Hex end in a draw?
No — it is mathematically impossible. When the board fills, exactly one player has a connecting chain.
Any tips?
Play toward the center, use "bridge" patterns (two stones a knight-ish move apart) that are hard to cut, and always watch the computer’s shortest threat.
