    ??????????????????

    Imagine a dark tower – where the forces of the world are harnessed by those brave enough and smart enough to control them. A wizard’s power brings these elements together: the wicked wind, rolling water, contracting ice, tumbling earth, lapping fire and sudden lightning. They will compete to establish control for once and for all.

    Wizard Hex – a seemingly simple game. Played on a elegantly designed hexagonal board, you choose your element and then challenge yourself against as many as five other players or as few as one smart computer to attempt to be the strongest and to take forever control.

    You begin as an Apprentice, learn to be a Journeyman and eventually challenge yourself and others at the Wizard Level. You play not only your own element but the friendly elements found on either side. Together you struggle to Expand to new regions, Transmute from Bronze to Silver to indestructible Gold, and Attack when the opportunity arises. All the time defending and consolidating a winning position. A new strategy game of resource management and area control – Chess or Go for the modern age.

    Wizard Hex is such a great strategy game that we are releasing it first as a traditional abstract piece moving game. Throughout the course of 2011 we will be populating the game with unique Spells that will allow for a more modern fantasy experience. The portal to this clever creation is just now opening….are you ready?    … Expand

    Easy to pick up and tough to put down, Wizard Hex is a novel and enjoyable board game concept that works well on iOS devices.

    Wizard Hex brings yet another iOS based board game for gamers to share with their friends, just be careful who you play with as friendships could be strained thanks to the game's unique 'ally' system.

    Once you grasp the rules and nuances of Wizard Hex, it's a fun, intriguingly deep strategy game with much potential.

    Wizard Hex is a very solid game that provides a great amount of depth to it... once you learn it. I'm afraid the lack of instruction or guidance will only serve to scare people away before they've had a chance to see what's it's really about, and that would be a tremendous shame.

    Despite my criticism I urge you to keep Wizard Hex on your list of games that might become must buys later on.

    Wizard Hex is a very fun strategy game, but because of the insufficient tutorial it's buried under heaps of frustration.
