About Hexathlon
A skill gym for the micro-skills of hex-board trading games: reading pips fast, trading efficiently at ports, and tracking a rival's hand. Short timed formats, a 5-puzzle Daily, 13-puzzle Rush runs and friend challenges. Mobile-first, no AI at runtime.
- **Pip Flash**: tap the corner touching the most pips before the clock runs out. - **Port Math**: see the hand, the build and the trade rates; tap the fewest trades it takes. - **Hand Tracker**: follow a game log, then count your rival's cards.
Modes: **Daily** (5 puzzles per format per UTC day, the same for everyone, one scored attempt), **Rush** (13 puzzles, easy to hard), Pip Flash quick sets of 3, 5 or 10, and **challenge links** so friends play the same 13 puzzles. A streak ("days at sea") counts consecutive days with a Daily, and a relaxed mode doubles every time limit.
Everything is generated from an integer seed, so the same seed gives an identical board and puzzle on every device.
