Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I collect games of high quality, and Hive is perhaps the highest. The tiles are made of thick bakelite, absolutely gorgeous and a pleasure to handle. There seven basic pieces:
Grasshopper (3) - jumps in a straight line over any number of pieces.
Ant (3) - slides anywhere legal.
Beetle(2) - crawls 1 in any direction, including atop the hive.
Spider(2) - slides 3 spaces without backtracking.
Ladybug (1) - moves 2 atop the hive, then 1 down.
Queen bee (1) - slides 1 in any direction.
Mosquito(1) - copies the movement of any single pieces it touches.
On the first turn, players place one of their piece adjacent to each other, and this forms the Hive. No move may be made which separates the Hive. On each turn, a player may do one of the following:
1. Place a piece so that it doesn't touch an enemy piece.
2. Move a friendly piece.
To win, surround the opponent's queen bee. Quite a delightful game.

Hive Carbon is a new edition of Yianni's Hive that plays the same as that classic two-player game but with stylin' black-on-white and white-on-black pieces instead of the multicolor bugs running around in the current edition. What's more Hive Carbon will include the mosquito piece that was previously sold separately as well as a new ladybug piece the details of which Yianni has yet to describe. The ladybug will also be available in the iPhone version (iTunes link) of the game but Yianni hasn't announced when that update will take place. Description written by W.
