Hex can be played online either using a web-based format or via e-mail.
Contents
Web-based games
Web-based games can be played either in real-time, where moves are made within minutes (or even seconds), or turn-based, where a player has days for one move.
Realtime playing sites
The most popular sites (approximatively ordered by the number of hex games played on them daily) are:
- igGameCenter for real-time play, with time settings, and ranking (it has many connection games).
- Board Game Arena supports real-time as well as turn-based play
- boardspace for real-time play
- http://www.ludoteka.com/ for real-time play
- http://games.wtanaka.com/hex for real-time or turn-based play
Turn-based playing sites
- Little Golem for turn-based play (also has other games).
- Board Game Arena
- See also Richard's server. One can play completely by e-mail, but it also has a graphical interface now. Furthermore any sized board is supported.
E-mail-based games
Hex may also be played over e-mail, in a turn-based fashion. The board can be represented in ASCII using either the full or compact formats below. The full layout is rotated 90 degrees from the compact one. (A fixed-width font is required for either board to display correctly in an e-mail client.)
Full layout: O _ X O _/ \_ X O _/ \_/ \_ X O _/ \_/ \_/ \_ X O _/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_ X O _/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_ X O _/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_ X O _/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_ X _/ \_/ \_/O\_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_ / \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/X\_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ X\_/ \_/ \_/O\_/O\_/X\_/ \_/ \_/O X\_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/O X\_/ \_/ \_/X\_/ \_/ \_/O X\_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/O X\_/ \_/ \_/ \_/O X\_/ \_/ \_/O X\_/ \_/O X\_/O Compact layout: /.\ /. .\ /. . .\ X /. . . .\ O /. . . . .\ /. . .

Services for game analysis
There are some services in the net, which help one play out different variations, analyze the games and share game records.
TRMPH has 3 board sizes: 11, 13 and 19.
Hex master is the service for analyzing and commenting games from Little golem.
Hex editor by Gwylim Ashley. Still in development. Support any size of the board, and creates different lines of variations, labeled with numbers.
All 3 websites can import games from Little golem.
