Read full description

■ A Hex Territory Battle Over Ancient Relics HexaRelic is a turn-based strategy game for up to 4 players. Expand your territory across a stone-tablet hex grid, lock ancient relics, and outscore your rivals. 【How to Play】 Each turn, place one tile adjacent to your territory. Surround all 6 cells around a relic to trigger a Lock — earning points, expanding the board, and unlocking bonus placements. The game ends when any player completes 5 locks. The player with the highest total score at that moment wins. 【Scoring】 Majority Lock (4+ of 6 cells yours): +3 pts Full Domination (all 6 cells): +3 pts + Erosion item Chain Bonus: consecutive locks add extra points Territory score is calculated at game end — spreading wide pays off too. 【Items】 · Erosion — overwrite one enemy tile adjacent to yours · Boundary Booster — leap to any empty cell, ignoring adjacency · Mining Drone — converts a minority lock into +1 pt automatically Knowing when to use each item is the key to victory. 【Game Modes】 · Bot Battle (Easy / Hard, up to 3 bots) · Random Match (quick online matchmaking) · Friend Battle (invite and play together) A typical match lasts 5–8 minutes — deep enough to think, short enough to replay. 【Perfect For】 · Fans of strategic tile-placement games · Players who want quick but meaningful PvP · Friends looking for a competitive mobile game together
