Our @museumofplay library recently added a copy of Martin Gardner's 1939 book Mathematical Puzzles & Diversions that includes a chapter on the Game of Hex (separately invented by Piet Hein & John Nash). I discussed the history of hex spaces in games here: museumofplay.org/blog/hex-marks…

The Strong recently acquired Mattel’s HyperScan video game system (2006). Aimed at tweens, it used RFID-enabled IntelliCards to unlock features and upgrade characters—but outdated graphics and a weak game library led to its discontinuation the following year.
