Hex Dominion
A turn-based hex territory strategy game. Claim tiles, trigger chain flips across weaker neighbours, grab mines and towers, and outplay one or two computer rivals who plan ahead across eight levels.
Hex Dominion is a turn-based territory strategy game played on a warm, paper-style board of hexagons. Each turn you claim one empty hex next to your land or reinforce one you already own. A new claim pushes into the neighbouring tiles, and every enemy hex that is weaker than the pushing force flips to your colour, which can in turn flip more tiles. A good move can start a chain reaction that swings half the board.
The board is dotted with mines, which give you an extra claim, and towers, which add two points of defence to whoever holds them. The rival empires are computer opponents. The first level is gentle, but from level three two rivals fight you and plan a move ahead by testing how you would answer each of their options. Boards grow with holes in them, and once per level you can fire a Surge that gives your next move extra power, so deciding when to use it is part of the puzzle. Hovering or tapping a tile previews exactly which hexes will flip, and a hint button highlights a strong claim. Your furthest level is saved as a rank.
This game suits fans of board games, area control and tactical puzzles who want a thoughtful ten-minute session. Tip: contested border tiles matter more than empty corners, so reinforce hexes next to rivals and grab mines early. It plays with mouse or touch, with a tap-twice confirm on phones in portrait or landscape.
How to play
Click or tap an empty hex next to your territory to claim it, or tap your own hex to reinforce it (up to 5). A claim flips weaker neighbouring enemy hexes and flipped hexes can chain onward. Mines give an extra claim and towers add defence. Use Surge once per level for extra power. When no more hexes can be claimed, the player with the most hexes wins the level. Win all eight levels for victory.
