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.)
