I LOVE THIS GAME!!! Chex has changed my life in more ways than I can explain. If I had to pick one game to play while gooning, it would have to be this. No other game has made edging as easy as this. In conclusion 100/10 We miss you Jesper R.I.P.3 found this helpful
It's a fancy way to play hexagon chess but there are probably better free versions out there.
