Read the full game description

Players redirect Hex tokens to other players with cards until a player can't redirect it anymore and becomes hexed. Those hexed lose points while the last player to pass the hex gains points. At the end of the game, the player with the most points (also called Voice) creates a new rule for the next game. Summarized in the rules: Hex Hex is a fast-playing, highly interactive 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 game. Hex Hex XL, the definitive edition of the game, combines the best of classic Hex Hex and Hex Hex Next - with the addition of 2 compelling NEW variants, Hex Hex Vexed and Hexen Stix.
