Choose the best tactics to place the right piece wisely and be the first to block the Queen Bee in the Hive. Hive is a board-less, strategic game for 2 players ages 8 and up.Each tile has a unique way of moving (like in chess) and resembles the movement of the insect depicted on the tile. For instance, the grasshopper is the only tile which can jump. Hive is a fun game to play because of its simple rules, yet challenging for its depth. Hive enhances each player’s skills of strategic planning, tactical thinking and spatial vision. To win, you must play both the offense (surround your opponent’s bee) and the defense (to protect your queen bee). A nice decorative storage bag makes it easy to carry, store and play anywhere.
