Agon or The Queen’s Guards is a strategy game which was first published in 1842. It is a two-player game played on a 6×6×6 hexagonal gameboard, and is notable for being the oldest known board game played on a board of hexagonal cells. It is part strategy and part race. Each player has one queen and six guards. Players determine who moves first, then turns alternate. On each turn, a player moves one of his pieces. The object of the game is to be first to manoeuvre one’s queen to the central hex (the throne) at the centre of the board, and surround her with all six of her guards
