Hive
From the Publisher...
A game crawling with possibilities Hive is a board game with a difference, there is no board, as pieces are added to the playing area they create the board, then as more pieces are added, the game becomes a fight to see who can be the first to capture the opposing queen bee. The soldier ants battle to keep control of the outside of the hive, whilst the beetles climb up to dominate the top, spiders moving into holding positions as the hoppers jump in for the kill. Keeping one eye on the hive and the other on your opponents reserves, the tension builds as one wrong move will see your queen quickly engulfed.

| My boyfriend loves this game. He's been talking about the strategy and can't wait to show it to me. Little does he know I've bought it for him for Christmas, along with the extension Mosquito pack! |

| An excellent abstract strategy game. The low number of types of pieces makes it very easy to learn, but it still has a lot of depth. My only suggestion is to not allow bee placement as the first two moves, otherwise between players of equal skill level, it will often end in a tie. |

| Hive is an abstract strategy game that feels somewhat like chess due to the variety of pieces (each with their own movement rules), but plays much differently. This game is perfect for restaurants and bars because all of the game pieces are made of durable plastic and there is no board to get ruined by spilled food or drink. |
