Hexed by Kohner - A Proto-Tetris?


Found this during a recent move. Kohner put out several versions of Hexed from 1968 to 1974. This edition was bought for 69 cents in a drug store in 1973.


All you do is dump out the pieces, and put them back into the box.
Sometimes you can solve it in a minute, other times it takes several hours.

Here's a solution that's not printed on the box.


Maybe Hexed was an inspiration to the creators of Tetris. Only the lawyers know.
