A connection game is a game where the goal is to use the pieces to create a connection between some parts of the board. The first connection game was Hex, which was invented in 1942, after which several other connection games have been created.
Timeline
- Hex (Piet Hein 1942 and John Nash 1948)
- The original connection game. Played on a rhombic hex grid.
- Y (Craige Schenstead and Charles Titus, 1950s)
- Played on a triangluar grid of hexagons
- Twixt (Alex Randolph, 1960s)

- This game is simply Go, but with a different goal, namely to create a connection between any two opposite sides.
- Unlur (Jorge Gómez Arrausi, 2001)
- Played on a hexagonal hex grid. Unique in the way that the players have different objectives.
