Hexlands is a multiplayer hex-tile placement game for iPhone. You draw tiles and place them on a shared board to build roads, cities, and chapels, claim features with meeples, and earn points.

Choose Create Game to start a private room — you'll get a code your friends can enter from Join Game. Once everyone is in the lobby, the host starts the match. Private games let the host pick a custom time limit, from 1 minute up to 24 hours.

Public games let you jump into a match with other players right away — no room code needed. Pick Join Game and browse the public lobby list, or create your own public game to have strangers join you. Public games have a fixed 30-minute time limit to keep things moving.

Hexlands supports 2–5 players in a single match, whether the game is public, private, or single-player vs AI.

Yes. Single Player runs entirely on your device — no internet required — and lets you pick an AI difficulty:

• Easy: random legal moves.
• Medium: greedy single-ply search.
• Hard: a more aggressive weighted strategy.
• Hell: an RL-trained neural-net opponent for a serious challenge.

The Tutorial mode is also available if you'd rather just learn the rules at your own pace.

Yes — tap the chat button during a multiplayer match to send short messages to everyone in the game. Messages are filtered for prohibited language, and chat is not available in single-player mode.

Public games end after 30 minutes. For private games, the host sets a custom time limit anywhere from 1 minute to 24 hours when creating the game. When time runs out, remaining features are scored and a winner is declared.

Completed roads, cities, and chapels score points during the game and return any meeples placed on them. Unfinished features score reduced points at the end of the game. The player with the highest total score wins.

• Roads: 1 point for each tile in a completed road.
• Cities: 2 points for each tile in a completed city, plus 2 additional points for each shield.
• Chapels: 12 points when all surrounding sides have a tile filled.

If multiple players have meeples on a completed feature, the points all go to the player with the most meeples. If there is a tie for most meeples, the points are split evenly between the tied players.

Each player starts with 5 meeples. When a feature they claimed is completed and scored, the meeples on it are returned to their supply.

Hexlands includes overlay tiles such as destroy tile and remove meeple, which let you modify the board in strategic ways. Tap any highlighted cell to use them on your turn.
