Hexomination

Concept:

Hexomination is a 2 player game.

There is an 8x8 hexagonal grid board.
There are 64 hexagon playing pieces.
Each piece has a white top and a black bottom.
The hex is divided in the center into 2 trapezoids.
Each trapezoid has a number on it.

There are 3 sets of hexagons, 21 hexes in a set. In terms of the values on each trapezoidal half:

1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6
2/2, 2/3, 2/4, 2/5, 2/6
3/3, 3/4, 3/5, 3/6
4/4, 4/5, 4/6
5/5, 5/6
6/6
There is also a final hexagon with a value of 3/3 on each side.

There is a bin that contains all the pieces. Each player draws their pieces from this common pool of hexagons.

The goal is to have the most hexagons of your color on the board at the end of the game.

Gameplay

Players decide which color they want to be at the start of the game.

All 64 hexagons are placed in a bin to the side of the board. Each player draws a hex. The player with the highest sum of their two hex-halves/trapezoids gets to choose whether to "seed" the board or to be the "first move". After the player makes their choice, the players shuffle the hexes back into the bin. Each player draws 3 hexes from the bin and places them on the stand in front of them.

Seeding - This is the process where the seeding player draws a piece from the bin at random and decides where to place it on the board. This is separate from their "hand" of 3 pieces they drew earlier.

First Play - This is actually the second move -- After the board has been seeded, the player must now play as indicated below...

REST OF GAMEPLAY - To play a piece, a player takes a piece from their personal library (the 3 on the stand in front of them) and places it onto a vacant hexagon on the board, with their color face up. They must place it adjacent to an already existing piece on the board.

To "flip" or "capture" a piece, you must place a piece with a value greater than or equal to one side of an opponents piece already laid down. If the opponents piece is lower value or equal on that side than yours, you can "flip" it over to show your color...

Alternate turns until the board is filled and whoever has the most pieces of their color face up is the winner.
