Circuit (Hex)
Rhombus of hexagonal cells in axial coordinates; neighbours (1,0), (−1,0), (0,1), (0,−1), (1,−1), (−1,1). Players alternate placing one stone on an empty cell. Red connects top and bottom; Blue connects left and right. A connected path wins immediately. After the opening stone, the second player may swap to take the opening role instead of placing. Agent actions: place(q,r) or swap.
