Interesting hexagonal Chess variant, invented by the father of the legendary Polgar sisters, called “Polgar Superstar Chess”:

Some general points:

• Small star shaped hexagonal board with 37 hexes
• Doesn’t have the “diagonal” movement most hex variants use, with the exception of the Knight
• The rook is a lance that can only move forwards and backwards
• The bishop is not colorbound
• The game has free setup of the pieces, a la “Pre Chess”
• The queen moves like the rook in most hex chess variants

I prefer this variant over other hex chess variants, but, then again, I never felt the “diagonal” the bishop moves in the majority of hex chess variants is a real diagonal.
