It only takes a minute for anyone to learn how to play Polyominoes, but it is challenging enough to keep both kids and adults engaged for hours. Each player has a rack of colored tiles to play on the board. Play your first tile at any corner of the board. After that, each tile you play must touch a corner of a tile of the same color, without touching an edge of that color. Win by covering more of the board than your opponents. Play progresses around the board until there are no places left to play. Polyominoes is simple to learn, but game strategy is difficult to master and game play is unpredictable. Play by yourself against the game, or with up to three of your friends. Need even more of a challenge? Higher difficulty levels are available through in-app purchase.

About

Hexa.Mind

Features
Read full description

Hexamind is a fast, stylish puzzle experience designed for both single players and casual multiplayer sessions. Every grid brings a beautifully animated hex layout you can rotate, slide, and conquer—pick from multiple game modes (including Classic, Time, Chaos, and Limit) to suit your playstyle, and choose from a range of difficulty settings and grid sizes before you begin. The tactile controls, fluid animations, and optional hints keep sessions accessible, while Move Limit and Time Mode challenges push your decision-making and efficiency to the limit. Jump into online play with friends or strangers, or host private rooms with custom settings: you control whether hints are allowed, set the challenge level, and decide who joins your table. Room creation now caps at 20 active lobbies, so matches stay lean and responsive. If you’re the host, you can manage players, reset layouts, and keep the leaderboard tidy—every win, streak, or clutch comeback contributes to your growing prestige. Chat with opponents in-room, tag-team puzzles, or duel for high scores as you climb the ranks. Whether you’re riding a quick solo run, coordinating strategy in co-op, or creating competitive sweepstakes, Hexamind blends brainy puzzle solving with polished visuals, rewarding progression, and a community-friendly lobby system. Keep an eye on your hints, race the clock (or the grid), and write your own legend in the hexagonal halls of Hexamind.
