There are too many board games using hexagons to offer a worthwhile catalogue that could be kept up-to-date.
I'll just list one or two.
 One of the finest is the game of Hex

I've made some original contributions to the study of this game.
There are quite a number of ways to play Hexagonal Chess.
The Chess Variants site has a whole list of them.
GIPF is a strategic game where in turn players place one piece
until they get four-in-a-row. The website introduces several related games.

With Hexxagon you attempt to surround your opponent's counters.

Abalone is a marble board game, with the object of ejecting your
opponent's marbles from the board.

Tantrix is a game where you place hexagonal tiles each with
a unique set of coloured lines joining sides. The object is to produce a long continuous coloured line.
Advocates of the above games will doubtless feel such a brief description does them scant justice.
They're probably right.
