Rules of Hex

In Hex players take turns placing a stone in any empty cell. The goal is to connect a chain of your stones linking the opposing sides of the board marked by your color while trying to prevent the opponent from connecting his edges in a similar fashion. The first player to complete his or her chain wins the game.

Since the first player has a distinct advantage, we use the swap rule. This rule allows the second player to switch positions with the first player after the first move of the game.
