Hex Hex is a fast-playing, stand-alone card game for 3-6 people. Players hurl Hex after Hex around the table, constantly redirecting, deflecting and altering the Hex's power until finally someone runs out of options and becomes HEXED.

In the end, the winner alone will command enough Voice to control the group and lay down the law... creating a new rule for the next game.

This game is all about non-stop player interaction. Every card you play is an attack or a back-stabbing tactic. A good amount of the rules are right on the cards so there's a small learning curve (one game ought to do it). After that, it is pretty simple to play. Heck, even your non-gamer friends will enjoy it. A single hand lasts from 3-5 minutes. A game from 20-30 minutes. But more often than not, groups play sessions running 3-5 games long as players create new and different ways to be 'mean' to each other. It's no strategy game, but if you're looking for a great 'beer & pretzels' style game with a fun mean-streak, this is it.

Contents: 94 Hex Hex cards, 6 voice cards, 8 voice tokens, 12 hex tokens.

Hex Hex Next

The Deviously Simple, Delightfully Mean-Spirited, Wickedly Fast-Paced game, is back with a vengeance in Hex Hex Next. Featuring all new cards, this latest edition can be played as a stand-alone game or added to your current Hex Hex deck for even more fun ways to "stab a friend in the back".

Play with no cards in your hand -- by using the hands of others with "No ManÕs Hand". Let everyone who touches the Hex "Rot" away. Long to be "The Forgotten" and gain Voice for each card still in your hand at the rounds end. Or "Shatter" your Hex and place one before every other player instead.

Contents: 100 cards, glass beads, 14 hex tokens. Players: 3 - 6.
