Serpentiles is the name coined by Kurt N. Van Ness for the hexagonal tiles used in various edge-matching puzzle connection abstract strategy games, such as Psyche-Paths, Kaliko, and Tantrix. [1] For each tile, one to three colors are used to draw paths linking the six sides together in various configurations.
An abstract strategy game is a board, card or other game where game play does not simulate a real world theme, and a player's decisions affect the outcome.Many abstract strategy games are also combinatorial, i.e. they provide perfect information, and rely on neither physical dexterity nor random elements such as rolling dice or drawing cards or tiles.
Individual polygons are named (and sometimes classified) according to the number of sides, combining a Greek-derived numerical prefix with the suffix -gon, e.g. pentagon, dodecagon. The triangle , quadrilateral and nonagon are exceptions, although the regular forms trigon , tetragon , and enneagon are sometimes encountered as well.

A tile-based video game, or grid-based video game, is a type of video game where the playing area consists of small square (or, much less often, rectangular, parallelogram, or hexagonal) graphic images referred to as tiles laid out in a grid. That the screen is made of such tiles is a technical distinction, and may not be obvious to people ...
A polytope is a geometric object with flat sides, which exists in any general number of dimensions. The following list of polygons, polyhedra and polytopes gives the names of various classes of polytopes and lists some specific examples.
TetraVex is a computer game that presents the player with a square grid and a collection of tiles, by default nine square tiles for a 3×3 grid. Each tile has four single-digit numbers, one on each edge. The objective of the game is to place the tiles into the grid in the proper position, completing this puzzle as quickly as possible.
