From the Publisher:

Hive is a highly addictive strategic game for two players that is not restricted by a board and can be played anywhere on any flat surface. Hive is made up of twenty-two pieces, eleven black, and eleven white, resembling a variety of creatures each with a unique way of moving.

With no setting up to do, the game begins when the first piece is placed down. As the subsequent pieces are placed this forms a pattern that becomes the playing surface (the pieces themselves become the board). Unlike other such games, the pieces are never eliminated and not all have to be played. The object of the game is to totally surround your opponent's queen, while at the same time trying to block your opponent from doing likewise to your queen. The player to totally surround his opponent's queen wins the game.

I’ve had the pocket edition for a few years now, so whenever I see the normal pieces they look ginormous.

I've had this game for quite awhile, but played it for the first time today. I love it! I definitely want to get the expansions: the ladybug, mosquito and pillbug. Thank you for this video; it was very helpful.

So is it only during the first 4 turns (or until the Queen is brought into play) that you are NOT able to have your own pieces touch the other colored tiles? After the 4th turn, or queen is in play you could then have a piece brought into play touching both colors? (ex 1:07)

At minute 4:41 you mentioned the beetle trap the queen which can no longer move, so how can I pull out or rescue it? With pillbug?

I can see Pixar “a bug’s life” sequel by watching this game play

I want a pocket carbon edition with all three expansions bugs!

[Doggmatic_]

Are all pieces used or a selected few?
What can the spider do that the ant cant?

[danieln]

If I surround my opponent's queen, but my pillbug is on top, do I have to move the pillbug first revealing the queen before winning?

[tetzy]

I think it’s ridiculous that pillbug isn’t in the carbon edition

[brunohenriqueazevedoborges]

Can I move the pillbug? Or I just move the piece adjacent to the pillbug?

Does anyone know if it's possible to buy reverse side stickers for the additional expansion bugs in hive venom (wasp, dragonfly, firefly, tick, centipede, fly, scorpion, shieldbug), and if so, where? Thanks.
