Hexed & Countered is a channel for wargamers, grognards, and strategy nerds who like their history with hexes, counters, charts, and tough decisions.

You’ll find deep dives into tabletop hex-and-counter wargames, first looks and rules walkthroughs, full gameplay sessions, and thoughtful commentary on what makes a design tick. From classic titles to modern releases, from tactical knife fights to sprawling strategic monsters, we cover games that reward planning, patience, and a willingness to read the rulebook twice.

This is not flashy clickbait gaming. It’s about understanding systems, appreciating historical design choices, and actually playing the games the way they were meant to be played. If you enjoy GMT, MMP, Compass, Decision Games, and other publishers that make your shelf sag and your brain hurt in a good way, you’re in the right place.

Pull up a chair, push the counters, and let’s see how it plays out.

Oh... and I do the occasional sports thing too.
