The PlayStation version of Glocal Hexcite features a story mode with a cast of cute characters, as well as a two-player versus mode and an "Official Game" mode where the rules are slightly different from the normal game. Players take turns placing shapes on a grid of triangles that make up seven hexagons. Any shapes placed on the board must touch the pieces already in play on at least one complete side; any outside hexagon completed will earn bonus points.
