Hex

Hex is a classic, well studied and widely admired game.   The rules  are trivial.  Just connect the opposite sides of the board with a chain of stones.   The amazing and infuriating thing about hex is that direct strategies to connect do not work, so you are forced to consider indirect methods, which do not obviously lead anywhere.

A lot more people have heard of Hex than have ever played it, which is too bad, because it's a really interesting game!

Robots:  Alas, the robot player for Hex is really, really dumb.  This is primarily because hex is a pretty difficult problem for a computer.
