Product Description Two aggressive groups of insects fight each other by writhing, moving and swarming against each other in an attempt to imprison the opposing queen bee: the ants nimbly move around the line, the grasshoppers jump from one side to the other, the spiders crawl at the edges while the heavy beetles climb over the other insects. Hive certainly belongs to the category of abstract games, such as mechanics and simplicity of regulation. Nevertheless, the strong characterization of the pieces and the graphics help to give a soul to the game and in certain moments you really get the impression of controlling an army of insects. In Hive, each player controls hexagonal shaped pieces, representing 5 different types of invertebrate creatures. There is no map or chessboard but the pieces themselves form the playing field by touching each other. Directions Simple, intuitive gameplay; no detailed instructions provided. Safety Warning For over 9 years old. Box Contains 22 pieces in total, with 11 pieces per player: 1x Queen Bee (Yellow-Gold) 2x Spiders (Brown) 2x Beetles (Purple) 3x Grasshoppers (Green) 3x Soldier Ants (Blue) See more
