    • Booklet: cover version a bit clearer; legal QR is black with no hex fill; inline piece icons sit lower on the text line; page 5 type and board are larger with step drawings under each line; French board label is Océan; inventory marbles face the camera; who-starts drops the tie-reroll sentence; the bigger who-starts die uses the current player color; boat-lane and stack plates share height evenly.
    • The header build version next to HEXALT is slightly more opaque.

    • The stable reactor base rule says uranium needs terrain on each of the six adjacent spaces.
    • Rules and play say place terrain (placer du terrain) instead of build or construire; the reactor action already used place.
    • The booklet goal is now just: be the last player with a marble in play. Gain control of the land moves to the top of the quick reference page, and Setup and Exalt no longer call the exalted marble a sixth marble.
    • Rules booklet diagrams: closer marble drop arrow, raised capsized boat without the grey ghost disk, larger stack and crush icons, smash-terrain figure without the grey lift arrow, hidden unsink bow tip, larger yellow who-starts die, and bigger inline boat glyphs.

    • Clicking a diagram in the print booklet no longer opens it full screen.
    • The quick-reference board on booklet page 5 no longer draws a red outline around the water rim.
    • The rules booklet puts The goal of the game on the left page with the hand, and keeps the quick reference on the right.
    • The rules booklet preview has a Download PDF button that opens the print dialog so you can save the booklet as a PDF; it waits until the diagrams have finished rendering.
    • Booklet diagrams can no longer shrink to a thin strip: every diagram plate keeps a minimum height, even next to a long caption.
    • The booklet game pieces page puts the board in the Inventory row beside the dome, and the Inventory heading icon is the tray instead of a pouch.
    • Booklet elimination and victory no longer mention the exalted marble or boats, the stack paragraph drops the space and level definitions, and the French heading reads Jouer sa bille exaltée.
    • Booklet step numbers and the copyright text are darker, and the QR hexagon is lighter.
    • The rules booklet is 5% smaller on the sheet so the crop marks on the short edges still print on letter paper.
    • The booklet tray arrow points left, which is the way the sheet goes back into the printer.
    • The printer service can put a name and a marble color on the rules booklet cover.

    • The rules booklet index no longer lists Pas d'uranium (No uranium).
    • Rules diagram 21 (the exalted marble on the reactor) sits a little higher so its caption clears the terrain.
    • The booklet index lists exalt, combat, and protection moves under Actions without those group headings.
    • French rules spell small counts: cinq billes joueur, deux tuiles, six cases, un, and trois billes d’uranium.
    • The booklet cover shows hexalt.ca in bold, and the designer is credited as Alexandre D. Roberge.
    • The French aide-mémoire says to place your exalted marble in play and crush the others.
    • Rules call a boat in the ocean hole Chaviré, and drop the line that sunk and capsized are the same state.
    • The Goal marble on booklet page 4 reflects a slightly wider view of the control room.
    • The rules booklet index uses slightly larger type for chapter names, entries, and page numbers.
    • The credit line names Alexandre first, with a small <3 between the two names.

    • The white trefoil zoom blur on the rules booklet cover is a little stronger.

    • The print tool asks whether the remembered paper size is okay, instead of asking whether to change it.
    • Rules booklet diagrams 8, 12, and 17 (ending a turn on your boat, the boat's way out, and pushing down a stack) are larger on the page.
    • The rules booklet QR is white on a slightly transparent dark hexagon.
    • The white trefoil zoom blur on the rules booklet cover is fainter.

    • The French game-pieces board is labeled Plateau de jeu, and its icon shows the full 61-hole board.
    • The Goal marble on booklet page 4 reflects a closer view of the control room, so the scientist looks like they are holding it.
    • The ocean-border rules diagram paints each player marble a different color.
    • The booklet index indents Exalt, Combat, and Protections under Actions.
    • The rules booklet QR has no filled hexagon behind it, so the page shows through.
    • The white trefoil zoom blur on the rules booklet cover is softer.

    • The trefoil zoom blur on the rules booklet cover is white, and brighter through the logo's white sectors.
    • The French booklet goal is one sentence: be the last player with at least one player marble.
    • The rules booklet QR code is white on a dark hexagon.
    • Each printed booklet sheet shows a paper tray on the long edges. The lifted corner uncovers the same arrow that points right, so the sheet goes back in the tray that way.
    • Ending your turn on your boat or on a reactor eliminates that player marble: it leaves the game and does not return to your inventory.
    • French rules say récolter, a reactor that is placé, a cost of 3 billes d’uranium, and Exalter ta bille exaltée.
    • Setup and Exalt both call the exalted marble a sixth marble in addition to your five, and victory and elimination count her once she is on the board, including on a boat, but not while she is under the dome.
    • The black trefoil zoom blur on the rules booklet cover is darker and more smeared.
    • The Move rule says a marble aboard sails the boat one ocean space per move, Unsink says sunk and capsized are the same hull in the hole, and unsinking costs one move.
    • The quick reference and the smash rule both destroy neighboring terrain from your player marble, and the smash rule no longer says your marble stays in play.
    • Who starts: each player rolls one die, and the highest die starts.
    • The Remember note says you never end your turn on your boat, and that only your exalted marble may end it on a reactor.
    • A stable base is the reactor's stack when it is at least 2 tiles high and all 6 surrounding spaces have terrain.
    • When your exalted marble is on your reactor as you roll, it must jump, and that jump goes up to the higher die.
    • A reactor with no stable base generates no uranium. Rebuild the terrain around it to start it again.
    • The testers' invitation on Credits and the booklet endpaper stays hidden until you turn it on in Experimental.
    • The ocean-border rules diagram adds player marbles, two-high terrain stacks, and a reactor, and still leaves a water border so boats can sail.
    • Booklet front matter: Kate Chapeskie is credited by full name, the credits page no longer repeats the original concept, the French invitation and copyright page use tu, and the print note compares the page to an A5.
    • The rules booklet back cover hides the whole Instagram follow block, including the line and @alderoberge, until you turn that experimental option on.
    • Game pieces adds the ocean board at the bottom, labeled The ocean in English and Le plateau in French.

    • The HEXALT logotype has more even letter spacing: a touch more room between H and E, and less of a gap between L and T.

    • The testers’ letter says a game lasts 10–20 minutes, matching the cover, and the credits name Kate.
    • A space, a tile, a stack, and a level are different things. Move, walk onto, and land are different moves. An eliminated player marble leaves the game.

    • Victory and elimination count player marbles in your inventory and on the board, including on a boat. The five in inventory count from the first turn.
    • Crushing or smashing terrain removes the top tile. The tiles under it stay, and your marble stays in play.
    • A rolled 1 places uranium on every reactor on the board, yours and the others'. Any player collects it by walking onto it. Generating uranium is part of the dice roll on your turn.
    • A 1 on a die generates uranium. Your move count stays the higher die, and an exalted jump still uses that higher die.
    • The wiki says the same as the booklet: a dome blocks the crush, the marble under it stays, and the dome stays on it.
    • A protection dome blocks the crush and the push. The marble under it stays in play, and the dome stays on it.
    • The exalted marble is a sixth marble kept under your dome. After a crush it stays on that hex as a normal player marble, and exalting again costs 3 more uranium.
    • The name written on the booklet cover sits halfway between the rules title and the tagline.
    • The ocean-border rules diagram fills more of the board with terrain, and still leaves a water border so boats can sail.
    • The Unsink rule no longer says it costs a move.
    • The who-starts roll arrow is a third the size, with rounded corners, and matches the winning die’s color.
    • Clicking a diagram in rules print mode opens it large, and closing it lets the page scroll again.
    • The Push rule says each of your marbles can shove a given opponent only once this turn, and that a push can't start from a boat or land on one.
    • Early playtester Kimberly Deavy is listed as Kim Deavy.
    • The booklet back cover says Suivez-nous sur Instagram! with no space before the exclamation mark, and an Instagram logo beside that line is an experimental option that stays off.
    • The Goal hand in the rules holds the player marble.
    • Crush landing diagram: the exalted marble now sits above the terrain, protection dome, ocean and player marble it crushes, with the impact burst between them. The rules now also say that landing on a protection dome crushes the marble under it, removing it from the board.
    • Crush landing diagram: the exalted marble now smashes into the terrain, the protection dome and the ocean with a white, slightly see-through impact burst instead of arrows, and a fourth picture shows it crushing a player marble.
    • The colored page progress bar along the top of each rules booklet page is now off by default. Turn it on from the Experimental panel on the print page.
    • The protection dome page in the rules booklet now has the ocean grid running to every edge of the page, like the elimination page.
    • In the rules diagram where the coaster fills with uranium, the inventory marbles now sit properly in their recessed holes.
    • Rules booklet diagrams are lit normally again: the pre-baked figures were capturing without the control-room lights on the bake machine.
    • On the Player colors print sheet, the blank name area is a white strip so you can write on it.
    • New Player colors print tool: a dark A4 sheet with every marble color and a line to write each player’s name, in the same style as the place cards.
    • The filled part of the rules booklet progress bar follows the selected player marble color, the same as the cover wash and logo glow.
    • Rules booklet page 5 is now one page for the rules of the game: the Goal (be the last player marble in play), a row of six step drawings (move, build and destroy terrain, push, place your reactor, collect uranium, exalt and crush), every move with its icon, and the Remember notes. It sits over the glove with a slightly see-through background. The old Goal blueprint page and the separate Quick reference page are gone, so the default booklet is 24 pages.
    • The Dr. A. letter in the rules booklet is now an experimental option, off by default. Turn it on in Experimental on the print toolbar to print it as page 7, after the game pieces.
    • The first section of the rules booklet progress bar (Basics, the white one) now fills in a visible gray instead of white on white.
    • Rules Setup figures S1 and S2 were swapped: the exalted marble under the dome now sits beside the inventory text, and the boat on an ocean corner beside the boat text.
    • The progress bar on the rules booklet pages now sits at the very top edge of the page instead of under the running header, and its segments have square corners. The thin rule under the header is back.
    • Turning a page in the rules booklet preview is about twice as fast: the turn takes 0.6 s instead of 1.2 s, it no longer lingers at the start and end, and the progress marbles fill in sooner afterwards.
    • The HEXALT title on the rules booklet cover is set in the Hexalt Display logotype font again, as on the home page; a font setting that never applied had left it in the page font.
    • The Goal figure on the rules booklet spread is zoomed in on the marble, the hand is white with a blue glow, and the background is plain white instead of the control-room photo.
    • The Goal page figures on rules booklet page 7 are now blueprint drawings: blue linework with a few dimension lines, and every piece at its true size (38 mm hex tile, 16 mm marble, 26 mm reactor tower, an exalted marble only 6% larger than a normal one). The terrain figure shows stacks one to three tiles high, and the step numbers now sit level with the step titles.
    • The hexagon tiles behind the rules booklet cover and back fade out faster and are fainter by default.
    • The marble and name under the rules booklet cover title are smaller.
    • The rules booklet no longer ends with blank leaves before the index: Add a player marble and Move your marble, Place your reactor and Generate uranium, and Smash terrain and Unsink your ship (with Last breath off) each get their own page, so the 28 pages are all rules.
    • The back cover of the rules booklet now says "Follow us on Instagram!" (Suivez-nous sur Instagram !) with the @alderoberge handle, above the copyright line and QR code.
    • The rules booklet header shows progress as a full-width bar instead of the top-right marbles: one segment per section in its tab color, full once a section is done and filled up to the current page.
    • On the booklet victory page the winning marble sits on top of a reactor that stands on the pyramid.
    • The rules booklet cover no longer has the color tabs along its right edge.
    • The color stripe on the rules booklet cover and back now uses the same slanted tab shape and size as the section tabs on the inner pages.
    • The hexagon tiles behind the rules booklet cover and back are more visible, and the cover zoom blur is turned to follow the logo's dark sectors.
    • The rules booklet section tabs have four sides: flat on the page edge, flat on the outer edge, and slanted 30° at the corners, like a slice of a hexagon.
    • The Goal page figures on rules booklet page 7 are redrawn like the real pieces: mahogany hex slabs, the softwood reactor tower with its colored bands, and glass marbles, with no background.
    • On rules booklet page 7 the strategy tips sit directly under the step they belong to (terrain, uranium, exalted marble) instead of in a separate Strategy list.
    • Experimental rules you turn on from the rules toolbar now show in the booklet and stay on after a reload, and turning one on no longer switches off the others.
    • The rules booklet cover has a soft black zoom blur of the trefoil that sweeps the whole page, down to the bottom.
    • The rules booklet index lists Goal (But) once, at page 7, instead of twice.

    • Print and wood wells are recessed Play hemispheres, not through-holes, so 3D mods seat the same way.
    • The /3d page shows a turnable 3D preview of each printable piece.
    • The home page lockup is a small trefoil with HEXALT beside it, like the header.

    • Play: choosing "Use dome" from your coaster's protection dome now raises it right away when only one marble can take it, instead of silently waiting for another click.
    • Play: win-chance bar no longer swings between 0% and 100% — rollout results are now blended with the position evaluation so a few noisy simulations can't dominate.
    • Play: clicking a shore tile only reachable by boarding your boat and sailing now works in one click (boards, then moves) instead of needing a manual boat move first.
    • Music: cleaner mix — arpeggio and kick now follow the exact chord at their time, late notes are skipped instead of bunching up (fixes drift/overlap), fewer lead voices, softer echo and stabs.
    • Play: table hands rest in a relaxed curled posture with living fingers (slow wave, occasional lift) instead of a stiff splayed palm.

    • Music: reworked toward a dreamy underwater score (Donkey Kong Country water-level feel) — floating m9/maj9 chords, bubbling harp, airy flute lead, darker pads.

    • Play: bots now have personalities — cocky, nervous, salty or friendly — each with their own voice, much more table talk (trash talk, apologies, taunts, cheering), and they speak up more often. English and French.
    • Play music rebuilt: a generative, pensive ambient score — slow evolving pads, a deep sub drone, sparse echoing bells and a distant heartbeat — that never loops and swells or hushes with the match (calm → tension → combat, hush at one life, brighter on victory).
    • Play: bots talk like real players — much richer, more varied table talk (trash talk, reactions to shoves, steals, doubles, near-elimination and more), in English and French.
    • Performance → Graphics: when a setting is on Auto, it now shows what Auto picked (quality tier, shadows, anti-aliasing, resolution, animations).
    • Play’s forest now reacts to the match: as the game goes on it gets more and more radioactive (sickly green fog and ground) and trees die off. A huge cooling tower stands in the background (steam plume on High graphics) and blows up in a nuclear blast, seen from an outside camera, when the game ends.
    • Performance panel now shows your battery level and warns that low FPS may be caused by low battery (browsers that support the Battery API).
    • Play menu redesigned: one clean segmented tab bar, simple switches and compact rows for graphics settings (advanced options tucked away), and a minimal performance view with FPS / frame time / draws tiles and the raw dump behind “Details”.

    • Play’s suggested-move hint now lives only in the game: the gold marker on the board (also for boat and dome actions). The Suggested bar is gone.

    • Play polish: the game-over screen now leads with the Hexalt logo and a single end line, sound effects vary slightly in pitch (collect chains rise), the top status chip shows who is still standing, and a new Cozy mode (Performance → Graphics) softens the end screen and stops pulsing alerts.

    • Play’s top panel speaks in friendly full sentences: “Touch anywhere to roll your dice”, “you go first!”, and softer turn status lines.

    • Play bots plan moves faster, so their turns no longer freeze the board for a moment.
    • Play’s Performance tab adds Graphics settings (quality preset, shadows, anti-aliasing, resolution, animations, FPS limit), saved per device.
    • Play no longer re-renders the whole 3D board four times a second for the FPS meter, removing periodic frame drops even on fast GPUs.
    • Fixed print mode on the hex, reactor, coaster, boat, and uranium box template tools: the settings panel no longer prints alongside the cutting template, and the sheet centers correctly on the page.

    • Play: the move-cost die no longer shows up inside the ghost marble on the hex you'd land on.
    • Play: hovering the walk + build option now previews your marble on the neighbouring hex it builds from, with the new terrain ghosted on the target.
    • Play lobby: "Créer une partie" no longer stays greyed out after backing out of an invite link, and shows a spinner while the room is being created.
    • Play online: fixed seats being treated as stuck ("need a 6") so every roll without a 6 skipped your turn.
    • Play lobby: Créer une partie and Rejoindre une partie are now stacked vertically under the Jouer title.
    • Play: the green boat's well ring is now a real green instead of neon lime.
    • Play: the top-left menu is now a floating button that opens a menu card on click (pages, search, language, theme) and stays open until you click away — no more hover-only navbar.
    • Cleaner play wait room: seats wrap instead of scrolling, one ✕ removes players or bots, no duplicate add/remove seat row, quieter rules and Leave, and empty chairs read as "3 more players".

    • Play board outlines use cheap WebGL lines so the 3D view no longer blows the GPU on Windows (LineMaterial shader OOM).
    • Play's wooden board frame sits flush on the table with closed sides, so you no longer see the hollow inside.
    • Play seated marbles stay locked in the boat well while the hull glides, instead of trailing behind.

    • Play respawns a player marble in its boat well, not down in the ocean hole.
    • Play boats stay on water: they cannot occupy another boat's hex, and they cannot path across land (jumping off onto an adjacent tile still leaves the hull on the ocean).

    • Play follows Rules v2 on protection domes (1 uranium per turn), who starts (highest roll, then to the left), and never trapping a boat's water path to the board edge. Walls are an experimental toggle and default off.
    • Play tile menu adds Move and build there: walk next to a distant hex, then place the terrain tile.
    • Play lets you field as many player marbles as you want: add one to your boat each time (bumping whoever was already seated into the ocean), move them separately, and crush as a reactor jump capped by one die — landing in the ocean returns the exalted marble to inventory.

    • Play: Place your reactor is a click action on a 2-high (or taller) stack next to your marble, matching Rules v2.
    • Play: you can only stack terrain to a new height when all six neighboring hexes already sit at the previous level.
    • Play: clicking a tile with only one legal action (move or build) does that action immediately instead of opening a menu.
    • Play: you cannot build terrain on a hex occupied by a player marble.

    • Play: building no longer replays your last walk animation in place. Moving onto open ocean without a boat now shows a red "Move there" with a skull icon, and an eliminated marble sinks and disappears instead of resting in the ocean forever. The actions-remaining HUD is bigger, pops in on a fresh roll, and now also covers other players' turns ("Red has 3 moves remaining"); it (and the status line) no longer report "0 actions left" while a boat-hex move is still available, which used to look like the turn was stuck. Removed the dice-cam picture-in-picture zoom.
    • Play: the tile click menu only offers Build there on tiles exactly adjacent to your marble (not anywhere on the board), and Move there / Build there now show footprint / hammer icons.
    • Hex template's Full board top/bottom split now rotates the half 90° to fit the tall tabloid sheet at full size, instead of shrinking (and slightly overflowing) to fit sideways. Print scale rulers on every print diagram now sit as a small L in the top-right corner (3 in each way) instead of framing the whole sheet.
    • Play: moving onto another player's marble now pushes it one space (two off a stack) instead of only a supercritical dunk — pushed marbles fall through open ocean like any other hole. Player coasters no longer show a floating name label or a player-colored rim (color already reads from the marbles), are smaller relative to the board, and the table is taller with a hexagonal top/apron and bigger chairs.

Player coasters no longer show a floating name label or a player-colored rim (color already reads from the marbles), are smaller relative to the board, and the table is taller with a hexagonal top/apron and bigger chairs.
    • Play: hovering board tiles now shows a normal pointer cursor instead of a stray question-mark cursor.
    • Play simulation: stepping off your boat onto land no longer ends your turn — you keep any remaining moves.
    • Hex template's Full board layout has a Show red alignment guide toggle, so you can hide the cut/ocean-outline guide if it prints past the sheet.
    • Play: click a highlighted board tile to choose Move there / Build there instead of moving instantly; the move-step HUD now reads "N actions remaining" (covering walk, build, and boarding your boat) and never shows a fractional count. Fixed a bug where boarding a boat at the start of your roll doubled your move budget on top of the boat's own per-tile discount, quadrupling boat range instead of doubling it.

    • Play's player coasters now rest flush on the table instead of floating above it; the pulled-up chairs have real seat/leg proportions instead of stretched-tall legs.
    • Play now shows real player-colored dice resting on the table, tumbling and settling on the rolled numbers, plus a brief "dice cam" picture-in-picture zoom on every roll.
    • Play no longer shows a walk-tile hint before you have a marble in play; hover your empty boat for a ghost-marble preview and click it to load a marble. Boats now face the board center at setup and turn to face their last move.
    • Play's table is a satin oak finish with big chairs pulled up around it; the forest horizon is now a distant camera-locked skybox instead of scattered fake trees.
    • Play sits the board on a shiny dark-oak table under an open-air forest backdrop instead of a flat color.

    • The Build hub follows the site language toggle, with French titles and blurbs.
    • Play board now uses the same real wood-grain texture as the Rules v2 diagrams, and boats are an eye-shaped hull (not a plain box) matching the rules-v2 model.
    • The Build hub lists the player handbook as Rules, not Rules v2.
    • DIY opens with an official safety notice and labels Amazon shop links View on Amazon with a referral tag.

    • Play uses thicker inventory coasters, a thinner board, and the real player colors (blue, red, green, yellow, white, black); camera help and render stats sit in the inspector.
    • The hex template settings are grouped as Board, Marbles, Print, and Export.
    • The home mosaic stays put when you click the field; only the Rules hex opens rules, now at /rules.
    • Print-template rulers match each sheet size, sit on top in preview, and Hosting build is fixed.
    • Cm/in edge rulers show in the print-template preview only; rules pages keep them for actual print.
    • Print template tools drop redundant preview captions; hex grid overflow warns in the sidebar.
    • Hex full-board print halves no longer include extra mating hexes past the zig-zag split.
    • Printable templates and rulebooks show cm and inch scale rulers along every page edge.
