Revision as of 23:25, 30 December 2007
Hex can be played online either using a web-based format or via e-mail.
Web-based games
Web-based games can be played either in real-time, where moves are made within minutes (or even seconds), or turn-based, where a player has days for one move.
The most popular sites are
- kurnik for real-time play,
- boardspace for real-time play
- http://www.ludoteka.com/ for real-time play
- and Little Golem for turn-based play.
- less popular but also turn based is Richard's server. One can play completely by e-mail, but it also has a graphical interface now. Furthermore any sized board is supported.
- http://www.googlegamecenter.com/ for real-time play, with time settings, and ranking. (Note: Despite the name, that page is not affiliated with Google.)
E-mail-based games
Hex may also be played over e-mail, in a turn-based fashion. The board can be represented in ASCII using either the full or compact formats below. The full layout is rotated 90 degrees from the compact one. (A fixed-width font is required for either board to display correctly in an e-mail client.)
