Straight six

A system of facilitating playing of a strategy game, comprising:

• at least one processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions to cause the at least one processor to perform:
• providing a hexagonal game board configured as a 6×6×6 three-dimensional grid and a plurality of stackable hexagonal playing tiles, each player of the strategy game using tiles of a distinct color among the plurality of stackable hexagonal playing tiles;
• players of the strategy game taking turns to place tiles among the plurality of stackable hexagonal playing tiles on the hexagonal game board, each tile contacting at least one previously placed tile or being supported in a stable stack;
• continuing play until a player of the strategy game aligns six tiles of their color in a straight row in any direction within the 6×6×6 three-dimensional grid, including horizontal, vertical, or diagonal;
• and
• declaring the first player to achieve the alignment as a winner of the strategy game.

A game apparatus for a multiplayer board game, comprising:

• a hexagonal gameboard configured with a grid having a three-dimensional arrangement of hexagonal spaces defining a 6×6×6 structure;
• a plurality of hexagonal tiles, comprising:
• a first set of tiles of a first color,
• a second set of tiles of a second color, and
• a third set of tiles of a third color, wherein each set includes a predetermined number of tiles and the tiles are stackable up to six tiles high within any given hexagonal space on the gameboard;
• a set of game rules, wherein:
• the game is designed for two to three players, each player selecting a tile color,
• players alternate turns in a clockwise sequence,
• during each turn, a player places a tile from their set onto the gameboard, either on an unoccupied hexagonal space or stacked atop an existing tile within a hexagonal space, subject to the six-tile height limit,
• an objective of the game is for a player to form a straight line of six of their tiles, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, before the other players;
• and
• a mechanism for determining a winner, based on achieving the objective of aligning six tiles in a straight line.
