Description
Hex Casters will make you do crazy things...
... like sing when you speak, knock three times before playing a card, or sneeze when some one passes you a Hex!
Use Defense cards to save yourself and pass Hexes to your friends.
AVOID THE HEXES TO WIN!
Hex Casters is a simple party game where players try to avoid getting hexes, which require them to do different things during the game. On your turn you draw a hex, and give it to a player of your choice. That player can use defense cards to try to pass it to someone else, who can also use defense cards. The player who can't defend or chooses not to takes the hex.
At the end of the round, you may draw one defense card for each hex you have. Game ends when one player gains a predetermined number of hexes.

Quotes (from this video)
- it was me Matt Marty and I forget the other gentleman's name it's bugging me that I'm forgetting his name he was fantastic he he was uh he worked with FFG and we played learned and played Great Western tra together Marty knew how to play and he taught us he did a fantastic job teaching the game
- so yeah so that that was another game I was really glad to have gotten a plan of anything else you want to mention before we move on from BG
- I love Jenga so of course I'm going to love what is wony what okay so it's uh it's just the these squares those little medium big squares but they're not quite squares the cubes are a little bit wonky you could say cuz they're like shaved on edges and so you can't really stack them properly you have to angle them
- that reminds me cuz the game came up uh Tada someone some asked about games that make make you laugh sure recently especially uh tadada and hex casters were great for making people laugh like the whole yes you know when you have to roll dice with your elbows on the table especially when someone had already played something on you and you have to have your elbows on your table and while you're doing something else yeah well you have the head on your table too and it's just impossible yeah that game's about being ridiculous super ridiculous yeah
- it's basically just looking around and seeing if there's vacant looks on everyone's faces like they don't understand what's going on especially if while I'm reading at the same time I'm not fully understanding the rules like if it's my first time reading through the rules trying to teach the game and I'm not quite fully understanding it so there's Factor number one if you as the teacher are like I'm not getting this working that's a great reason to box it up
- I actually enjoy these live shows a lot more than than doing the table talks enjoy them more you know what I mean they're a different kind of work like this we sit down I prepare stuff in advance takes time to set up but then when it's done it's done with table talk it's like we shot it for a couple of hours now we need to go edit that then we I likeed having the viewers be a part of it so then getting in their stuff and editing their content and it all is kind of time consuming not in a bad way but it's like you have to create time for that though if you're going to do it
- yes my hope is that we'll be able to have those uh available in the future as well
- I just played with Luke overcooked it's a couch only Co-op game and boy did we have a lot of fun our first play of it we were just cackling while playing that game
