Hexy is a game that requires some deep thinking and fast action as well as a little luck. The object of the game is to score as many points as possible in the allotted time by placing the hexagonal tiles on the board. When placing a tile next to a tile that has previously been placed the colors of the adjacent faces must match. If you place a tile next to 3 or more previously placed tiles then you’ll score a bonus and have the neighboring tiles removed from the board!
