Background
Hive
is an addictive game for 2 players. Both players play with 11 pieces (black and
ivory) with different insects. The game is being played
without a board and
starts as soon as the first ivory piece is placed.
It is not allowed to break
the connextion of the pieces in a way that ´islands´are being created.
The
players can choose every turn if they want to place a new piece
(a new insect)
or if they want to move a piece wich already was in the game. The object of the
game is to surround the queenbee of the opponent (without your own queenbee
being surrounded).
The player who
succeeds in that wins immediately.
Movement:The
queenbee moves one step. The
spider always has to
move 3 steps, no more, no less. The
grashopper jumps in a straight row over the other pieces to the next available
spot. The
beetle can do 2 things: move one step like the queenbee or climb on top of
another
piece (one step at a time). There can be a situation all beetjes are
on
top of eachother. The
ant can move infinetely.
Hive is a game with easy rules but with great strategic and tactic depth. That´s why
Hive is as well loved by people who play more abstract boardgames (such as
chess and go) as by people who don´t.
Hive has been awarded internationally
several times.
The
mosquito is an expansion that gives Hive an extra dimension.
