HTML5 2d Hex Board Game (tabletop) Engine

Question

I'm looking for a very simple HTML5 2D Hex / Touch game engine framework to build board game like:

• Turn based 2D Hex Grid Wargame
• Dungeon Crawler
• Settlers of Catan
• Krosmaster

I found an awesome article on Hexagon grids with a D3.js implementation but can't figure out how to start a boilerplate.

After digging around I found a list of HTML5 Game Engine and great game's components.

But I don't know which one would be the best for my use case. There few sample/tutorial that really match my needs. It's often:

• Very tiny screen size
• Or ugly assets
• Or dead links
• Or lot's of code

May be that kind of game do not match for HTML5 game ? Something based on Hexagon grids would be so cool ! It seems Phaser do not handle hex grid ?

Playcraft seems to support hex grids, at least in the announced 0.5.6 release:

Here’s a big list of things we’ve changed:

* hex tile maps now supported using (pc.HexTileLayer)

The code is on Github. The project looks inactive since July 2013.
