# Hexeptional Hexpertise
|
|
|
|
You are all mages competing to put on the flashiest magic display for the festival!
|
|
Arrange the elements to put on a good show.
|
|
|
|
Shuffle the three nexus cards, flipping some upside down during shuffling, and deal each one faceup.
|
|
Place the left elements in the fixed hexes (nexus) on the corners in clockwise order from the top.
|
|
Place the right elements in the fixed hexes (nexus) on the corners in clockwise order from the bottom.
|
|
|
|
The center hex represents you, the mage.
|
|
It is neutral (not aligned with any element).
|
|
|
|
Each turn, flip the top card of the mana deck.
|
|
It shows two elements.
|
|
Choose one element to be the one placed, and the other to decide the direction it has to be placed in.
|
|
|
|
> **Example:** Light and Fire are the elements on the mana card.
|
|
> Light is positioned in the top-right nexus, and Fire is in the bottom nexus.
|
|
> This means that the players can place a Fire to the top-right of a filled hex,
|
|
> or a Light below a filled hex.
|
|
|
|
If you are unable to place either element in any direction, you must nullify (cross out) an empty hex instead.
|
|
Nullified hexes count as being filled, but have no element associated.
|
|
|
|
If either of the following elements are touching, cross them out.
|
|
They have nullified each other.
|
|
For reference, these pairs are on the nexus cards.
|
|
|
|
- Light and Dark
|
|
- Fire and Water
|
|
- Earth and Air
|
|
|
|
When all 15 mana cards have been flipped twice, the festival is over.
|
|
See how the audience liked your display with the following rules.
|
|
Do not count nullified elements.
|
|
|
|
- Light = 3 points for each cluster
|
|
- Light shines brightest on its own
|
|
- Dark = 3 points for each hex in the cluster after the first
|
|
- Darkness tries to swallow everything
|
|
- Fire = 2 points for each connection between adjacent fire hexes
|
|
- Fire grows and burns
|
|
- Water = 3 points for each in longest path
|
|
- Water flows like a river
|
|
- Earth = 4 points for each triangular cluster
|
|
- Earth is solid and clustered together
|
|
- Air = 4 points for every fork in the line
|
|
- Air is flowing
|
|
|
|
Advanced scoring conditions:
|
|
|
|
- Harmonic Convergence = flower or line of all 6 elements = 15 points
|
|
- Perfect convergence of elements puts on a flashy show
|
|
- Void = flower of nullified hexes = 10 points
|
|
- Making good use of negative space
|
|
|
|
The highest scoring display wins the festival!
|
|
In case of a tie, use the scores for the individual elements, in clockwise order starting from the top. |
