Hive (DE)

Leicht zu lernen, einfach zu spielen, aber mit großer Spieltiefe und hohem Suchtpotential! Jedes Spiel ist anders, denn die großen Spielsteine kommen ganz ohne Spielplan aus. Auf den Steinen sind Insekten zu sehen, die alle eine andere Zugmöglichkeit haben. Das Ziel ist einfach: Die gegnerische Bienenkönigin muss gefangen genommen werden, indem sie mit eigenen und fremden Spielfiguren umschlossen wird. Dabei sollte die eigene Königin aber nicht in Gefahr geraten!

Hive is a highly addictive strategic game for two players that is not restricted by a board and can be played anywhere on any flat surface. Hive is made up of twenty two pieces, eleven black and eleven white, resembling a variety of creatures each with a unique way of moving.

With no setting up to do, the game begins when the first piece is placed down. As the subsequent pieces are placed this forms a pattern that becomes the playing surface (the pieces themselves become the board). Unlike other such games, the pieces are never eliminated and not all have to be played. The object of the game is to totally surround your opponent's queen, while at the same time trying to block your opponent from doing likewise to your queen. The player to totally surround his opponent's queen wins the game.
