Hex not among the "classics"; is there a reason?

[Miwarre]

If you select the Games menu and then Specific category -> Classic, a number of games are listed, but not Hex.

Note that the list includes games more recent than Hex, as Connect6, or games with less games played, as Lines of Actions (both of which, incidentally, I am glad to find in the list), so it is not a matter of "when" or "how much".

Would it be possible to include Hex too? Also considering that there are not many other criteria (well, none actually!) which would select Hex.

Thanks.

I second the motion. If Hex isn't a classic, I don't know what is.

I believe it's just a matter of the developer would need to add it to their gameinfos file.

OK, I've added the "classic" tag just now. I think it will not take effect until BGA verifies it.

Update: I've figured out how to add the "classic" tag and it is now working.

Why is it sometimes said that the HEX game is more difficult than chess or go? Where is the difficulty?

HEX has complexity 1/5, so it's not difficult.
The strategy is 5/5, which is for games which are really deep.
