Goal: Build an unbroken chain of your color connecting your two edges.
Blue (you) wins by connecting the top edge to the bottom edge.
Red (CPU) wins by connecting the left edge to the right edge.
Each turn, tap any empty hex to place a stone. Stones never move.
Neighbors: each hex touches 6 others. A chain can weave any path as long as each stone touches the next.
Swap rule: after Blue's first move, Red may "swap" and claim that stone if it looks too strong. This keeps the game fair — Blue should open with a move that isn't too strong and isn't too weak.
Draws are impossible in Hex. Someone always connects.
Game over: first player to connect their two edges wins.
