Board Description

HexGear

By Kjeld

Battle for hex-space in this interplanetary race for the gallaxy!

Different continents are marked by height and texture. Note: Arrakis (brown, lower-right) is a discontiguous continent, broken by Arrakeen (teal) in the middle.

Pirate space begins the game as empty neutral territories, and while it is helpful or in some cases necessary to traverse this dangerous territory, each one you control is worth -1, and an additional -1 for each connected pair!

The Five Foundations each begin the game with 7 neutrals, but each may attack the others and the surrounding hex-space (any hexes that are within one hex-diameter of distance). In addition, foundations are worth +2 each, and another +2 for each pair you control.

Territories around the edges of empty space have vision by line of sight (i.e. they can't see over an intervening hex) across the void. Foundations have vision of all hexes bordering their areas of empty space.
