<hr />
<div>Hex can be played online either using a web-based format or via e-mail. <br />
<br />
=Web-based games=<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==Realtime playing sites==<br />
<br />
The most popular sites (approximatively ordered by the number of hex games played on them daily) are:<br />
* [[Kurnik|PlayOK (Kurnik)]] for real-time play with rankings, game records, tournaments<br />
* [[igGameCenter]] for real-time play, with time settings, and ranking (it has many connection games).<br />

* Hex may also be played over e-mail, in a turn-based fashion, with [[Unicode and ASCII boards]].<br />
<br />
==Services for game analysis==<br />
<br />
There are some services in the net, which help one play out different variations, analyze the games and share game records.<br />
<br />

<br />
