As learners play this game, they develop logic, geometry, and spatial visualization skills. Players start out with an empty hexagonal grid. Players take turns initialing hexagons to build a “wall” of hexagons that the other player cannot cross. The first player to block the other into a corner wins. Includes a harder variation. Available as a downloadable pdf and in Spanish.
