Me and my wife have been playing #hextraction a fair bit over the last week since I got the basic set printed, and my printer has been running nonstop to churn out new pieces since then.
Here are my unasked for thoughts on the game
As an introduction - #Hextraction is a table top game that is completely free (as in both freedom and free beer) and all the parts can be made at home via #3dprinting. The goal is to build a path from the top of the board to the end zone that you can roll a marble down, with lots of zany effects (both physics and rule based) to complicate things.
Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, the game itself is a blast. It's a good combination of simple and complex (kind of like Hive in that respect). It's the kind of game that you could play with a bunch of kids, or have a serious and challenging match against another adult with both choices being fun. It also has a few solitaire modes which can be fun, though not as fun as the "real" game.
(1/?)
