Hex Reverse Cards — Six Values, Edge Flips and Deck Growth

Hex Reverse cards are six-sided rather than single-stat, and that is the whole design. Each card carries six values, one per side, and the only values that ever matter are the ones on the edges that touch another card. Placement therefore decides which of a card's six numbers gets tested, which is why the store page frames the game as reading the board rather than comparing card power.

What a Hex Reverse Card Carries

The store description is precise about the structure: each card has six values, one for each side. Nothing else about a card's contents is published. There is no documented rarity system, no cost per card, no card pool size and no list of individual card names, so the six values and whatever the SP skills can do to them are the entire documented card anatomy.

Card element	Documented
Six values, one per side	Yes
Edge comparison on contact	Yes
SP skills that strengthen cards or change elements	Yes
Individual card names	Not published
Card costs or rarities	Not published
Card pool size	Not published

The practical reading of a six-value card is that it is a shape, not a number. A card with one very high side is excellent when that side faces the enemy and awkward when it does not, and a card with six middling values may be the more reliable piece because it rarely loses an edge badly.

How Adjacent Edges Decide a Flip

The flip rule has three parts, and the store page states all three. When you place a card next to an opponent's card, the values on the touching edges are compared. If your value is higher, the opposing card flips to your side. If it is not higher, nothing happens.

What makes that interesting on a field of 19 hexagonal spaces is that a single placement can touch several cards at once, each comparison resolving independently against a different one of your six values. The store page's advice follows from that: choose your position carefully, read the board, and use each card's strengths to take control of as much territory as possible. Whether a card you already own can be flipped back is not documented, and neither is the exact condition that ends a battle beyond controlling territory.

How Your Deck Grows During a Run

The deck side of Hex Reverse is a roguelike loop rather than a constructed format. Each run consists of a series of battles, and after winning a battle you choose one card from a selection taken from your opponent's deck, which is added directly to your current run deck and can be used in the battles ahead.

Stage	What happens to your deck
Run start	You begin with the deck you carry into the expedition
After each win	Pick one card from a selection taken from the opponent's deck
Immediately after	The card joins your current run deck for the battles ahead
End of run	Return to your base and prepare for the next expedition
At the base	Build and refine saved decks, buy and sell cards, fuse cards into stronger ones

The store page is explicit that every choice changes the shape of your deck, which is what lets you adapt as a run progresses, and the base phase is where those picks turn into a longer-term collection: cards can be bought and sold, and fused into stronger ones. Between the run deck that grows mid-expedition and the saved decks you refine at base, Hex Reverse keeps two deck layers, and the gameplay page covers how they feed into the Rift difficulty ladder. For the individual achievement names tied to that base loop, see the achievements page.
