Hexa-Plex – The dawn of 6 sided fun

on

Just a thought.

I’ve been dwelling on using the hexagon format for a game idea since the start of Race for the Sun Stone. I know there are a ton of games out there already, from miniatures to tile game, that use this format. It’s a great shape. The polygonal shape lends itself to multi-sides, equal spacing when used for travel, and tessellation which create great patterns.

Trying to narrow the use of hex tiles or cards to a single game theme or mechanic seems to be the issue, so I’ve come up with a sure-fire solution; why pick when I can just create a game box that has 6 games in 1. 6 sides x 6 games = 6 times the fun… well, mathematically it’s actually 36 times the fun. Yeah! 36x the fun. Or I can just position it as 6 sides! 6 games! 6x the fun! I’ll see what flies.
