HEXES!! is a fast-paced party card game where you hex your friends with rules they must follow! Your goal is to stay in the game while managing to follow the rules on all the hexes you happen to receive. If you break one of these rules, you’re out! On paper, it might sound pretty simple, but in practice, it can be incredibly difficult. The hex rules combine with each other to create some absolutely hilarious moments. Fun to play with friends and family!

We're looking for $6000. Our goal includes the production of 250 games, payment for our artist, and any other small fees we may have overlooked. Our biggest desire is to bring this game to life for people to enjoy with friends and family.
What's in the box:
- 45 Hex Cards.
- 60 Defense Cards
- A rule book. That's it!
We've avoided providing perks such as posters, t-shirts, or other things that aren't our game, so that we can get the game to you faster when our campaign ends. However, we do have a couple perks that you might enjoy!
- We have an Early Bird perk for those people who fund us early. Get our game for only $20!
- We have a Wizarding Super Fan Kit perk. With this, you get our game, plus a hex card from the original prototype, signed by the team. Some of these hexes are no longer in the game!
- Ever wanted to Go Down In Wizarding History as a badass backer? With this perk you'll get a copy of the game, and your name printed in the thank you section of the rules booklet in the box!
- Create Your Own Hex perk. With this, you get to work with us to create a hex, and have it included in the game when it's released!
Our campaign was started when we were chosen as top 5 out of 500 submissions to Hasbro's Gaming Lab competition. We found out about having been chosen on October 10, so it's been quite the effort to get ourselves campaign-ready. With such a short time frame, we do want to stress that much of the art for our game is still in development, but we will regularly update this page and our backers with examples of finished artwork.

As game design students, we play A LOT of games. These range from party games, like HEXES!!, to more complex group tabletop games. As such, we've learned a lot and have taken our experiences, our analyses of these games, and put that it all into HEXES!!.
In recent years, there's been a resurgence of analog party games. These games bring families and friends together to have a fun time, laugh, and just enjoy being with each other for a time. We believe that HEXES!! has what it takes to become your go-to game to play with friends.

When making HEXES!! and compiling this campaign, we assessed our risks, as listed below:
1. Testing
Between the playtests in class and the many we have done since, we feel that many of the problems that our players encountered have been solved or alleviated. As a result, we've created a deck of hexes that have amazing interactions, and provide a fun gameplay experience.
2. Quality of Product & Delivery Date
One of our major concerns was cost and the quality of product we could provide to you. As such, we reached out to Ad Magic, the printer for both Cards Against Humanity and Exploding Kittens, and requested a quote. The quality of cards, rules booklet, and box they provide has already been proven by the games they produce for some of the most popular party games out there. We're super excited to be working them to bring HEXES!! to market as quickly as possible after the campaign ends.
We don't expect to deliver the game until early next year. We wanted to be up-front about that, as we don't want our backers left wondering when they'll receive our game after we get funded.

Alex Bogart, Norman Greenberg, Douglas Mansell, Sam Sternklar, and Tom Smith.
We're a group of students from the Rochester Institute of Technology. HEXES!! was made as a class assignment, which became popular incredibly quickly. We submitted it to Hasbro, and got into the top 5 out of over 500 submissions for their competition!
Since then, we've been putting in insane amounts of work for this campaign, reworking the art for the game (beyond developer art!), and overall getting the game ready for you!
