HEX-HEX
 |
HEX-HEX is a fast-playing¸ stand-alone card game for 3-6 people. Players hurl Hex after Hex around the table¸ constantly redirecting¸ deflecting and altering the Hex's power until finally someone runs out of options and becomes HEXED. In the end¸ the winner alone will command enough Voice to control the group and lay down the law... creating a new rule for the next game.
Okay¸ that's what it says on the box... what's it really like? Fast and fun. This game is all about non-stop player interaction. Every card you play is an attack or a back-stabbing tactic. A good amount of the rules are right on the cards so there's a small learning curve (one game ought to do it). After that¸ it is pretty simple to play. Heck¸ even your non-gamer friends will enjoy it. A single hand lasts from 3-5 minutes. A game from 20-30 minutes. But more often than not¸ groups play sessions running 3-5 games long as players create new and different ways to be 'mean' to each other. (check our list of favorites) It's no strategy game. But if you're looking for a great 'beer & pretzels' style game with a fun mean-streak. This is it.
