The abstract boardgame known as
[Hex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex_%28board_game%29) / Polygon /
CON-TAC-TIX is quite simple in rules, though complex in practice. Two players
place stones on a rhombus with hexagonal fields. The player to connect his/her
stones to the opposite side first wins. The four sides of the rhombus are
place stones on a parallelogram with hexagonal fields. The player to connect his/her
stones to the opposite side first wins. The four sides of the parallelogram are
divided between the two players (i.e. one player gets assigned a side and the
side directly opposite it and the other player gets assigned the two other
sides).

Your goal is to build a program that given a simple representation of a board

(For example, players may have mismatched piece counts.)
(For example, players may have mismatched piece counts or the game's board might
