The best games with hexagon grid ⬡ 2023
Looking for a game that takes place in a hexagonal grid ⬡? Then we have just the thing: The 30 best "Hexagon Grid" games.
What are hexagon grid games?
The game pieces, pieces or parts of the board are placed on a playing field mosaicked with hexagonal squares. This is used for laying pieces of the board against each other and/or placing or moving pieces. Probably the best-known game with such a board is Settlers of Catan, but more recent games such as Gloomhaven, Terraforming Mars or The Castles of Burgundy also rely on such boards.
Distinction from square grid and movement of game pieces in the grid
To ensure a more precise distinction we have created more categories. It should be noted that movement of game pieces and the arrangement of the game board itself should be distinguished:
