What this demo is
This is the real game, playable in your browser: the board logic is the game’s canonical rules engine, verbatim — every legal move, capture, and win condition here is exactly what the iOS app enforces. The guided tutorial teaches the whole turn — Project (place or move a stone), Shape (raise or lower the ground), and the optional Echo — plus captures and the three ways to win, in about two minutes. After that, it’s a free board.
What this demo is not
Your opponent here is a simple practice opponent built into the page — a sparring partner for learning the moves. It is not the app’s six-tier bot ladder, and not the evolving bots that get stronger from real human play. When the practice opponent stops being interesting, that’s the sign you’re ready for the real ones.

The full ruleset in plain language is on how it works — most people are dangerous in about a minute. The demo and the rules page teach the same game: a 37-cell hex board, one kind of stone, tiers that make height into strength, and three simultaneous win conditions — Network, Takeover, and Strangle. For where hexodic sits among games you already know, see games like hexodic.
Nothing here needs an account, collects nothing, and stores nothing — it’s a static page. When you’re ready for the six-tier ladder and pass-and-play, get hexodic.
