Hexomania

Hexomania is a strategic board game for two players, or one player against the computer, in which each side races to build an unbroken path of pieces from one edge of a hexagonal board to the opposite edge. The green player connects the top-left side to the bottom-right; the red player connects the top-right side to the bottom-left.

Rules

Players take turns placing a piece on any field that is still free. There is no capture and no removal: the only decision is where to drop your next piece. Although the rules are simple, the game is unforgiving and a single careless move can hand the win to your opponent.

Modes

The game supports two-player hot-seat play and single-player matches against the built-in computer opponent. Optional networked play is available when Open Transport is installed, and the optional Speech Manager adds spoken move announcements.

Requirements

Hexomania runs on a Macintosh or Power Macintosh with at least 4 MB of memory and roughly 1.5 MB of free hard-disk space. A 256-color display (or 16-level grayscale) is recommended for an acceptable picture, and System 7.5 or later is required, with System 8 also fully supported.
