[h3]Hexarchy is now available for purchase with a 20% launch discount! [/h3]

Hexarchy has come a long way since its inception when we decided to make a deck building strategy game that can be played in about an hour! We have spent countless hours developing, overhauling and refining every aspect of the game and are very happy to have made a game we can take pride in and many people will enjoy!

We would like to extend a special thank you to our kickstarter backers and playtesters whose support and feedback has been instrumental in the development process! Without you this would not be possible!

If you are new here and this is your first time seeing Hexarchy, at its core Hexarchy is "Civilization in about an hour".

Hexarchy combines the best elements from deckbuilders, 4X strategy, and hex-based board games to create a truly unique experience.

Build a deck to your own style, playing cards from your hand to perform actions on the board. Construct on your hexes to collect resources and broaden your empire, or play technology cards to expand your deck. Develop an economy which fuels your objectives, balancing the happiness of your civilization with the demands of war.

Also you can check out our launch trailer here!
