## What is Cosyhex?

Cosyhex is a cosy, original alternative to the classic board game Catan. Roll the dice, gather timber, clay, fleece, barley, and stone, trade with your neighbours, and build paths, cottages, and cosy manors across a hand-painted island. First to ten points wins the table.

PLAY TOGETHER, ANYWHERE, NO INTERNET REQUIRED
Host a room in seconds and share a six letter code. Friends join from a phone, a tablet, or any modern browser. No accounts, no sign ups. Up to six players at one table. Play together via bluetooth across Android, iOS, MacOS when internet is not accessible.

BOTS WORTH BEATING
Four difficulties, from easygoing to the Hex Queen, an expert rival who reads every tile and trades like a court diplomat. Bots banter, react, and remember how the game has treated them.

DOOM BOT MAYHEM
An optional twist mode. The Doom Bot gate-crashes turns 8, 15, and 22, bending the rules with a distortion drawn in secret each time. Fair chaos, the same for everyone.

NOBODY WAITS FOR A TURN
With five or six players, The Gathering opens after every turn: everyone builds and buys at the same time on one shared timer.

EIGHT ISLANDS AND COUNTING
From the snug Cosy Vale to the wide open seas of Cosy Earth, with harbours, lagoons, and star shaped outposts between. Charm cards, hidden in your hand until the right moment. Solo and online saves, with every seat kept.

BECOME A COSY PATRON
Buying the app makes you a Cosy Patron, and the game says thank you everywhere you go:

- The Cosy Patron crown and title at every table, solo and online
- A gilded score card, and gold confetti when you take the win
- Four premium territory finishes: Rose Gold, Amethyst, Jade, and Dusk
- Grand estate art for every cottage and manor on the board. While you are seated, the whole table gets it, a gift from you
- Even the bots greet you by name

Looks only, nothing about play changes. Everything is included: no ads, no in-app purchases, no tracking, ever.

FREE FOR YOUR FRIENDS, FOREVER
Cosyhex stays free in the browser at cosyhex.com, with no ads and no sign ups, so nobody at your table has to buy anything to join you. Purchases like yours are what keep it that way. From a tiny studio that loves game night: thank you.
