Why it matters
Hex was invented by mathematician Piet Hein in 1942, shortly before being independently rediscovered by John Nash at Princeton University. Its design is celebrated for its elegant simplicity and the fact that a draw is mathematically impossible, making it a cornerstone of strategic board game theory.
