Lilyturn

Hex reversi game
2 players, or 1 vs a bot
Daily challenge
Phones and computers

Lilyturn is a hex reversi game that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for two players on one device, or one player against a bot. It has a daily challenge, the same for everyone that day.

Float lily pads on a hexagonal pond and turn rival pads by trapping them in a straight line between two of yours. Four anchor spots, in two mirrored pairs, hold pads that never turn once taken, and every anchor layout in the game was played by the bots to check it is fair to whoever starts. Play five labelled bot levels, a second player on the same device, or the daily pond.

Tips

A pad on an anchor spot never turns and stops rival lines from running through it, so take an anchor when it costs you little.
The six corner spots of the pond never turn either, because no straight line runs through them, but most of the play happens far from them.
Count how many moves your rival will have after yours; leaving them few choices often matters more than turning the most pads now.

What happens if I have no move?

Your turn is skipped, and the game says so and moves on for you. When neither side can float a pad the game ends, even with spots still empty, and the side with more pads wins. Equal counts are a draw.

How do the bot levels differ?

Level 1, Learner, looks one move ahead and often plays at random, and level 2, Easy, looks two moves ahead. Steady, Sharp and Expert search deeper each time, and Expert reads the last dozen spots exactly. You and the bot take turns to start.
