HexGomoku is a unique strategic board game played on a hexagonal grid. Two players compete by moving their pieces across the board, trying to align them for victory while managing the innovative Qi (liberty) system. Features: - Hexagonal board with elegant design - Player vs Player and Player vs AI modes - Unique Qi liberty mechanic - pieces need breathing room - Red barrier pieces that must stay connected - Configurable board size (3-6) - Built-in game timer - Undo and reset functionality - Beautiful dark theme with premium aesthetics How to Play: Each turn consists of two moves: first move your own piece, then move a red barrier piece. Your piece needs at least two connected empty neighbors (Qi) to move. The first player to align their pieces in the required pattern wins!

About

Take Tac Toe

Features
Read full description

Take Tac Toe is a more strategic twist on tic-tac-toe, also known as noughts and crosses. In classic tic-tac-toe, once a space is claimed, it stays claimed. In Take Tac Toe, larger pieces can be played over smaller ones, so control of the board can change right up to the final move. That changes the game completely. You need to think ahead, protect key spaces, set traps, and choose the right moment to attack. What starts as a familiar game quickly becomes a deeper head-to-head strategy puzzle with more tension, more reversals, and more ways to win. Features: โ€ข Easy to learn, with more depth than classic tic-tac-toe โ€ข Fast games with meaningful decisions โ€ข Play against another person or the CPU โ€ข Clean, focused design โ€ข Great for quick sessions and repeat play If you enjoy abstract strategy games, classic board games, and clever competitive puzzles, Take Tac Toe offers a fresh take on a familiar favourite.
