Hex
Connect your two sides of a field of hexagons, red top to bottom, blue left to right. The second player may steal your opening move. Nobody can draw a game of Hex.
The rules in brief
- The board is an eleven by eleven diamond of hexagonal cells. Red owns the top and bottom edges, Blue owns the left and right.
- On your turn you place one stone of your colour on any empty cell. Stones never move and are never captured.
- Build an unbroken chain of your own stones connecting your two edges: Red from top to bottom, Blue from left to right.
- On the second move, Blue has a choice: reply normally, or take over Red's opening stone.
- Because the cells are hexagons, the two chains cannot cross each other without touching, and that is why a drawn game of Hex is impossible.
How stakes and the fee work
You choose. The smallest allowed stake is 1 USDC and the largest is 10 000 USDC. Both players put up the same amount, and both stakes are held until the match settles.
Nothing to sit down. On a settled match we take 10% of the pot and the winner receives 90%. A draw returns each player their own stake in full and we take nothing at all.
Each player has 10 minutes for the whole of a lobby match. Tournament fixtures run on their own clock, currently 5 minutes a side. A clock that reaches zero loses on time.
Send your balance to any Polygon address you like. The fee is 1% of what you withdraw, the same for everyone, and you see the amount, the fee and what actually lands before you confirm.
