Neuroshima Hex! is a Polish tactical board game based on the Neuroshima role-playing game. It is designed by Michal Oracz and published in 2005 by Portal (Portal Publishing House), with a second edition in 2008 and a third in 2013. The game is set in the same post-apocalyptic world as its RPG counterpart. Neuroshima Hex is essentially a much more complex version of War; in terms of strategy, it is similar to chess in that play emphasizes correct placement of pieces on the board, with occasional combat removing pieces from the board. The game is also available as a video game, with rules essentially identical to the board game, albeit with combat between tiles automated via software. It became the first Polish board game that gained international popularity and has been called the legend of the Polish board gaming scene.
