_Fandal_ Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 Hi all! New Flop magazine No. 47 was released yesterday and I'm really very happy I was able to make small contribution to it again. After two card games FreeCellXE and TriPeaksXE I prepared logical game HexxagonXE this time and Raster was so kind to add cool music and sounds. Enjoy!

The goal is to take as much stones as possible and beat the oponent You can move your stone or you can jump with it. If you move it, you get new one. Each stone can be moved just to the nearest free positions, next nearest free positions are available for jumping. And you're taking all oponent's stones nearest to the target position. That's all.

bjk7382 Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 I used to play hexagon on the computer and thought I was pretty good at it, but I just played a game of the 8bit version on my XL and I got smoked on the "CPU good" level. Great game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fandal Sounds similar to othello. In Othello all opponent's chips are changed when they get between two of your stones. In this game all "neighbour"- chips of your opponent will be changed, after you set your chip.... and you can jump over one opponent chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Here is a flash version of hexxagon. I know there is a similar downloadable version somewhere that I used to play a long time ago. The 8bit version is pretty accurate except for the animations and the layout markers that tell you where you can move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
