HEX BOIS is a strategy game combining base building and real-time combat. Start with a central core and gradually expand your territory using hexagonal tiles.

Each player begins with a Core tile that serves as the center of their base. From there, you can build adjacent hexagonal tiles to expand your empire, similar to the gameplay in Hexanaut.io. The key rule is that every built tile must maintain a connection to at least one core. If a tile becomes disconnected from the system, it will gradually disappear.
Currency is a crucial factor in HEX BOIS. Generators produce funds over time, providing the resources needed to expand your base and deploy other types of tiles. The more generators you build, the faster you accumulate funds.
Each tile type in HEX BOIS serves a specific function, ranging from generating funds and attacking to defending and protecting the base's center.
| Tile | Role | Main Function | Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Generator | Economy | Generates money over time | Develop it early to maintain funds for building and expansion |
| Soldier | Attack | Attacks enemy tiles | Use its low cost for quick attacks near enemy territory |
| Wall | Defense | Protects your base | Build around the Core or Generator to make key areas harder to attack |
| Core | Center | Keeps your empire alive | Protect it carefully and build additional Cores when needed; losing your final Core eliminates you |
Game controls are straightforward, relying primarily on the keyboard and mouse to view the map, select tiles, and perform actions.
Prioritize building generators to ensure a steady income.
Protect your core and generators with walls rather than focusing solely on expansion.
Always ensure new tiles remain connected to the core.
Observe the opponent's base before deciding to attack.
Use soldiers for quick strikes against weak points.
Avoid over-extending if you lack the means to defend your territory. When you have multiple cores, distribute your defenses to avoid losing your entire base too quickly.
