Box Hex is a two-player game. A printed paper “board,” a pen of one color, and a pen of another color can be used to play. Box Hex is an adaptation of Hex to a three dimensional surface - a box.
SetupThe board starts out empty. If the six arms of the board were folded out of the page at right angles to the page, a “box” would form. The half circles on the side edges of the arms would join to form whole circles.
The top edge perimeter of the box is divided into four segments: two red segments opposite each other, and two blue segments.
PlayPlayers take turns coloring in circles on the board, one circle per turn (or two corresponding half circles in a turn). Circles in the goal segments are not colored in by the players. Those circles are already colored in gray. Circles connected by an arc are considered adjacent. Half circles connected by an arc are considered to be part of the same circle.
Each player attempts to connect his two opposite segments with a continuous line of colored-in circles (in his designated color).
