Hive is a fascinating puzzle game for two players. As soon as I internalized the basic rules, I felt like I was playing a futuristic version of chess. Just as complex and multi-layered, but completely different in many details and even in some basic game mechanics.

The aim of the game is to immobilize the opponent’s queen bee. Each player has a number of pieces with different abilities and movement rules at their disposal. Some of the pieces can move around the hive that is created during the course of the game. Others can jump over pieces or even climb onto other pieces.

At the beginning, you take turns placing your pieces on the table according to certain rules. Then you decide whether to place more stones or move existing ones according to their movement possibilities in the hive. The tactical and strategic possibilities are almost unlimited and usually lead to new and exciting game sequences.

In addition to the basic game, further figures will be released to make the game even more exciting, complex and entertaining.

Here you can really let your head spin and ponder for hours over certain moves and their effects on the action. A must-have for fans of brain teasers.
