Product Information

The game plays exactly like Hive with each turn consisting of placing, moving, or flipping a piece in the case of Hive: Venom. Upon placing a piece you must draw out a new piece from the Swarm bag, unless it is empty. The extra twist being that you can draw out and place your opponent's pieces! Each piece must be placed in accordance with the rules for that colour.

End of the Game

After many matches where I used to open with the Spider, which was considered the weakest insect, I switched to a more defensive bug.

Before jumping straight into the article let me share with you a few important premises that will integrate my strategy itself. #1 | Base Game only One of the most important things to consider is the number of players who can play at once. Most travel games are aimed at groups of between 2-4 players, with some working better for a couple's retreat by focusing on a two-player experience and others being better suited to larger groups.

If you would like to test both our products, we recommend uninstalling one and using the other. Firewall ports and networking I was wrong of course and it didn’t take too long to figure that out. Since the second match, I was deeply in love with that incredible abstract game. The Queen Bee can move only one space per turn. Even though it is restricted in this way, if moved at the right time it can severely disrupt your opponent's plans. Your Queen Bee can be placed at any time from your first to your fourth turn. You must place your Queen Bee on your fourth turn if you have not placed it before. The game ends when a queen bee is surrounded on all six sides (by pieces of either color). The owner of the surrounded queen bee loses.

A draw may also be agreed if both players are in a position where they are forced to move the same two pieces over and over again, without any possibility of the stalemate being resolved. Flip the Honeycombo to play two moves on your next turn and discover a host of new possibilities. The Honeycombo can be used with any of the Hive games, creating new game-play possibilities and spicing up the opening positions. At the start of the game, a player may only place pieces until they place their queen bee. In addition, the queen bee must be placed by a player's fourth turn; if after three turns a player hasn't placed their queen bee, they must place it on the fourth turn. The only exceptions are the Grasshopper, which can jump into or out of a space, and the Beetle, which can also climb up or down.This wonderful travel version comes with 26 beautifully crafted Hive pieces, includes a very nice soft drawstring bag and the two expansions to the game: ‘ The Mosquito’ introduced in 2007 and ‘ The Ladybug’ which was added to the Hive® family in 2010. The pieces measure 25 mm across and 10 mm in depth and the whole game weighs only 200g including the bag, compared to the full size standard Hive game, which weighs 600g. In case both queen bees are surrounded at the same time, the game is a draw. In addition, players may agree to a draw if the game ends in a stalemate, of repeating moves over and over. Exception: The first piece placed, of course, will not touch anything, and the second piece placed will necessarily touch the first piece (of the opposing color).
