Loophole is kind of an "inverse Hex, times 3". If you had a spherical surface with a square hole in the side, said window having two opposite black edges and two opposite white edges, you'd have something isomorphic to Hex. Now, if you had three such windows instead of one, and you had to win on two of the three windows, you'd have Loophole. It's actually a tad more complicated than that since you can link two or three of the windows in series.
Loophole is essentially a 3D game with three identical, symmetrically arranged windows. If you take one of the windows and stretch it outward and downward, you have a 2D adaptation of the game, which is used here at Gamerz Net.
