■ Insert Coin ■ Bridge The Rhombus ■ No Draws ■
Red connects the top and bottom edges; Blue connects the left and right edges. Take turns placing one stone on any empty cell — adjacent cells (six neighbours per hex) of your colour link up. First to span their two edges wins. There are no draws in Hex: a full board always contains exactly one winning chain. A bridge (two stones a knight-ish hop apart with two shared empty links) is a near-unbreakable connection — the AI flags them for you.
