Hex can be played online either using a web-based format or via e-mail.
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.
The most popular sites are
- kurnik for real-time play,
- boardspace for real-time play
- for real-time play
- and Little Golem for turn-based play.
- less popular but also turn based is []. 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.)
