About game
Staring at the clock while your coffee goes cold is the worst part of any workday. Hex Colonies: Strategy turns that downtime into a high-stakes island expansion challenge that fits perfectly into a ten-minute break. You manage resource collection across hexes to hit specific prosperity goals before your turn limit expires. Every decision matters because you must prioritize building roads and upgrading settlements into massive cities while managing seasonal resource yields. Trading extra wood or stone at the market keeps your economy moving when you run low on essential supplies. Building workshops and beacons adds depth to your board, pushing your score higher with each successful run. You can tackle the campaign mode or test your skills against a fresh daily map for maximum replayability. Jump into this browser game for free without downloading anything to your device.
How to play
Goal: reach the required prosperity (✦) before you run out of turns.
Select a hex next to your settlement and build roads and settlements, upgrade settlements into cities, and add a market, warehouse, workshop and beacon. End the turn — settlements gather resources from lands active this season. If you are short on a resource, trade it at the market (4:1, or 3:1 with a market) or bridge across the water.
Controls: on desktop use the mouse (left-click hexes and buttons); on mobile use taps. Winning earns medals, unlocks new campaign islands and a leaderboard score. Optional: a rewarded ad grants +3 extra turns after a loss.
