HEXUKI

Rules

Objective

Place numbered tiles on the hexagonal board to score more points than your opponent through diagonal chain multiplication.

Setup

• Each player starts with 9 tiles with a number value.
• The center hex starts with a neutral "1".
• Player 1 places any tile on the board to start the game. Players alternate placing 1 tile until all tiles are placed.

Placement Rules

• Adjacent Rule: New tiles must be placed next to existing tiles.
• Chain Length Rule: The longest chain can be at most 1 longer than the second longest chain.
  • A chain is any number of consecutive tiles in a straight line.

Scoring Example

Player 1 (Red): 5 diagonal chains going down-right
Player 2 (Blue): 5 diagonal chains going down-left

Scoring Rules:

• Each chain multiplies all tile values along that diagonal.
• Add up all 5 chain products for your total score.
• Don't be annoying by mirroring your opponent's moves exactly. If a tie happens naturally then it is a fair draw.
