Hexotopia is a relaxing city building puzzle in which you place hexes to create beautiful towns. At any time, you can immerse yourself in a quiet, calm world and take a break from your daily routine. At the same time, Hexotopia offers a challenge for those looking for it: in order to build a large world, you need to carefully plan and strategically place your hexes. You start the game with a stack of hexes. One by one, you place the top tiles from the stack into any of the available slots on the board, rotating them if necessary for a better composition. Thus, groups and combinations of landscapes are formed, such as forests, cities or bodies of water, and you are rewarded with points depending on how well the tiles fit together. Complete tasks to get more tiles and continue expanding your landscape. The game will end when the stack of tiles is completely used up. You will be able to benefit from the results of your city building talent. We have prepared for you many interesting tasks that you can go through, trying your hand at many tests. What Hexotopia offers - Building endless and beautiful landscapes - Unique combination of strategy and puzzle - Relaxing and soothing gameplay - Strategic placement to break the record - High replay value - sessions are not repeated - Live map, your buildings come to life before your eyes - A living city like in city building games - A new kind of ASMR relaxation
