Hexxagon is another one of those simple puzzle games that will keep you playing it into the wee hours of the morning and will instill such a strong addiction inside of you that you will suffer from physical withdrawals from not playing the game. The idea behind it is simple: try and have the most rubies or blobs on the board as possible. If your ruby or blob lands in a space next to your opponent’s piece(s), they will transform into pieces like yours.

The idea behind it is simple: try and have the most rubies or blobs on the board as possible. If your ruby or blob lands in a space next to your opponent’s piece(s), they will transform into pieces like yours. Be careful! You can lose what pieces you’ve gained as quick as you received them. The AI on this game is surprisingly good, or maybe I am just surprisingly dumb. I have played (and beaten) the computer many
times on the most difficult setting. I remember the very first time I played this game. It was at my cousin’s house, a long, long time ago. They had a really old computer and just purchased a new one. They loaded all of the files from their old computer and put them all on their brand new, state of the art computer. After all of them got to try out the power of the new Pentium 2 processor, I finally got my chance to take a turn. They had a variety of newer games, complete with amazing graphics, but I saw Hexxagon out of the corner of my eye. I opened up the program and I saw stuck in the computer chair with my eyes glued to the screen for hours and hours. I purchased the game when I got home and found something to replace my crack addiction: Hexxagon. Its simplicity is what makes it so wonderful because there are almost a limitless amount of strategies that can be applied to this game. It’s also made for two human players so you can battle your buddies and find out who is the smartest of them all. You also have the option of watch two computer’s play each other to help better improve your over all strategy and learn how the computer was programmed to think. Please, download this game. It will be the missing puzzle piece in your life that completes you. You will not regret it and your friends will think you are the coolest kid on the block. They even nominate you for Hexxagon player of the year, but that is highly doubtful. I have been crowned King of Hexxagon since the sixth grade.
