Six is a deceptively simple looking abstract strategy game where two (or four) players take turns placing their colored hexagonal tiles, trying to create one of the three "winning shapes" - triangle, circle or line - out of six of their tiles. Once all tiles from the player's hands have been placed, players can pick a previously placed tile and move that to a new position. The advanced rules allow for removing pieces from the game by separating them from the main group through moving a hexagon. This provides an alternate way to win by reducing the opponent to five pieces or fewer (ensuring they cannot form a winning shape).
