Playtest Night
A full table mid-skirmish during a community playtest.
A fast two-player tabletop skirmish game you can print, play, and help shape during the beta.
A 30-minute tactical skirmish for two players
Hexagods is a head-to-head skirmish game built around small teams, hex positioning, and dice activations. Pick a team, set up the mat, and play a full match in about thirty minutes. No campaign commitment, no four-hour setup.
Everything is designed to print at home. Datacards, battle mat, tokens, and rules are all in the Starter Kit, so a new pair of players can go from download to first turn in one afternoon.
The beta is the point
Hexagods is in open beta because we want to grow the community and shape the game with it. Rules and characters are still being figured out, and player feedback is what shapes the next update.
What that looks like in practice:
- Regular rules updates
- Direct feedback requests on characters, abilities, and pacing
- Visible changes that trace back to specific community input
- Early access to new characters before they hit the kit
Download. Print. Learn. Play.
The Print & Play Starter Kit gives you a complete first match, not a teaser. Build a team from the starter roster, print the components on a home printer, and walk through the basic rules on your first night.
Inside the kit:
- Core rulebook and quick-start reference
- Print-friendly battle mat
- Character datacards for the starter roster
- Tokens for activations and objectives
Meet the roster
Print them, paint them, play them. New characters land in Discord first.

The Discord is where Hexagods lives
Once you've got the Starter Kit, the Discord is the next step. It's where the active conversation happens between matches, between patches, and across every group of players testing a new idea.
What you'll find there:
- 3D model files for printable miniatures
- Beta updates
- Open feedback threads and playtesting calls
- Rules questions answered by other players (and us)
- Painted-team showcases and print pics
Who Hexagods is for
If any of these sound like you, the Starter Kit is built with you in mind.
Skirmish Players
Tabletop players who want a fast match, tight tactical decisions, and an easy way to get a game in on a weeknight.
3D Printing Hobbyists
Print enthusiasts who want printable miniatures with actual gameplay attached, and a reason to paint the model after it comes off the plate.
Beta Testers & Tinkerers
Players who like testing rules, leaving feedback, and watching a ruleset change while they play it.
Help us make more Hexagods
Hexagods is built by a small team and funded mostly by Patreon. That money pays for the hours, art, and tooling behind every new character, datacard, and rules update.
If you've been getting games out of the Starter Kit and want more Hexagods over time, supporting on Patreon is the most direct way to make that happen.
FAQ
- What do I need to start playing?
- The Starter Kit, a home printer, a pair of standard six-sided dice, and one other person. That's it for your first match.
- Do I need a 3D printer?
- No. The Starter Kit is fully print-and-play on standard paper. 3D models are available in the Discord for players who want to upgrade to physical miniatures, but they are never required.
- How long does a game take?
- About thirty minutes for a standard two-player match once both players know the basic rules.
- Are the rules still changing?
- Yes, that's the point of the beta. Rules and characters get tuned based on actual games at actual tables. Anything you've already printed keeps working when something changes.
- Where do I get the 3D models?
- Posted in the Discord, free for anyone in the community.
- Do I need painted miniatures to play?
- No. The Starter Kit ships with printable standees and tokens that play exactly the same as fully painted minis.
