In Six, players take turns placing colored hexagonal tiles on a hex grid aiming to form one of three winning patterns: triangle, hexagon, or line. If no one wins after all tiles are placed, players move existing tiles to create new opportunities. Advanced rules allow splitting tiles into groups and removing some, offering an alternative win by reducing the opponent's pieces.
