I... I seriously hope you're joking.

You could have easily done a Google search for 'Hex map' and found what it means. It means that the player can move in 6 directions; up, down, up right, down right, up left and down left.

Hex means hexagonal!

Hex means hexagonal!

Well, Hex means 6 and a hex map uses 6 directions.

This information has bummed me out. I hope it is better than I think now.

EDIT: Link is not working for me, any release date posted?

Hex= possible strategy elements. Crossing my fingers.

Link isn't loading for me either... So, any pics of Skylanders: Battlegrounds?

BEST iOS GAME IS BATTLE BEARS

You'll be able to buy it on it's own - it's just the starter pack comes with the bluetooth portal, so you have the adavntage of being able to switch faster. Kind of like how you don't need the portal to use Universe, but it makes switching faster.
