Welcome to Hexwar!
A tactical strategy game on a hexagonal battlefield
Build and command your army, capture resources, and destroy your opponent's headquarters to claim victory.
Your Goal
... should you choose to accept it
Destroy the HQs
Capture every enemy headquarters. Lose your last one and it's over
Outlast the Clock
Each player has a chess clock. Run your opponent out of time
How to Play
It's like chess on a hexagonal board, with a twist!
Capture
Move onto an enemy to capture them - just like chess.
The Twist
Your HQ pays you every turn, resource hexes pay more, and you spend it all on new units.
Your Turn
Spawn a unit, move a unit, and use a special ability - in any order you like.
Special Abilities
Build walls, fly over obstacles, or self-destruct to take out nearby enemies.
Movement vs Attack
Be careful not to overextend your units!
Movement Range
How far a unit can travel. A Scout can dash 3 hexes across the board.
Attack Range
How far a unit can capture from. That same Scout? Attack range of just 1.
Click any unit to see both ranges highlighted. Some units (like tanks) can capture within their entire movement range.
Resources & Spawning
Control the map, control the game
HQ Income
Every HQ you hold earns you 1 credit a turn, no matter what.
Purple Hexes
Worth 2 credits per turn! These contested hexes are worth fighting for.
Your HQ is the Store
Click an HQ to shop. New units land on its hex and step off next turn. The HQ can move too, and you can buy up to 3.
Save Up
There is no cap on credits. Bank them for a Heli or a forward HQ, or spend as you go.
Ready to Play!
Click units to select them, click your HQ to open the store, and press Space to end your turn.
Tip: Buy a helicopter to fly over obstacles and capture from afar!
