HEX: A Beautiful Mind Game

So we have recently watched "A Beautiful Mind."  In the movie John Nash is challenged to a board game called HEX.  In real life he will reinvent the game and people will refer to it sometimes as "Nash."  After somewhat studying the game I have decided as a class we will create our own "HEX" game boards and learn how to play this game.  Maybe we will even have a tournament.

The following website shows how to create a board game.

Or even cooler would be to create an 11x11 game out of pvc pipe as shown in the you tube video below:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2YT6ZIg3is  go to about minute 2:40
