The game play of Hexxagon is similar to that of Reversi. Two players take turns placing pieces on a 7x7 board. In the starting position, each player has two pieces of his color around opposite corners of the board. Player take turns to move any one of their pieces to any square up to two steps away, including diagonally. If the piece is moved to a neighboring (in any direction, including diagonal) square, an additional piece is left on the starting square of the move, so the player has one more piece on the board after the move than before. If the piece is moved to a square two steps away, no new piece is added. After the move, all enemy pieces adjacent to the piece moved change to its color.
The game ends when one or both of the players can't move. The player with the most pieces wins. The board may be of several different configurations, by having certain squares filled (not playable). Hexxagon is a variant of Ataxx that is played on a hexagonal board instead of a square one. The rules of the game are the same as in Ataxx.
NERD
NOTE: A key principle in Ataxx, Hexxagon and Reversi is to take control of squares that are difficult for your opponent to retake. Be aware that control of a square adjacent to several empty squares is likely to alternate back and forth as the empty squares are occupied, one by one. On the other hand, control of a square completely surrounded by other occupied squares is unlikely ever to change.
