hexadot
Read full descriptionHide full description
One dot can change the whole board. hexadot is a turn-based strategy game built around chain reactions on a shifting hex grid. Place your dots, build toward critical mass, and trigger cascades that spread across neighboring cells. The last color standing wins. EVERY MOVE MATTERS Grow your position one dot at a time. A crowded hex bursts into its neighbors, creating captures, counter-captures, and long tactical chains. INSTANT CAPTURE When a hex bursts, the strongest arriving force captures its neighbors outright ā no drawn-out battles, just decisive chain reactions. A BOARD THAT FIGHTS BACK Cracked hexes can collapse into voids, changing critical mass and reshaping future cascades. Add frozen hexes and bulwarks for even more tactical variety.
