Review: A two player masterpiece - Hive is an enigma. It is a 2 player game that is simultaneously dead easy and intricately complex. A bit like a crossword puzzle designed for 5 year olds, written in Latin. The most similar game to Hive out at the moment, and for the last thousand years actually, is Chess. You each take turns to move (or place) one of the game pieces according to their individual movement rules in an effort to surround your opponents bee, (check mate, if you will) while preventing your opponent doing the same to you. Hive differs from Chess not in complexity, but duration. While a game of chess can be like 90 minutes wading through treacle with an ice pick lodged in your pre-frontal cortex, a game of Hive lasts aound 5 minutes. And because of this, it doesn't matter if you lose! You just play again. You can experiment with different strategies without fear of wasting an hour in the process. Speaking of strategies, this is where Hive really shows its strength. You are required to place your bee tile down in your first 4 turns, but on which turn you decide to do it makes a MASSIVE difference to the rest of the game. Do you wait until turn 4? You get to put out more pieces potentially setting yourself up better for the rest of the game, but you're not allowed to move any of your other pieces until you've placed your bee, potentially allowing your opponent to pin you in early. The short length of the average game means you can experiment and find what works for you, and there's no wrong way to do it (except putting your bee down on turn one, that's just mad). Decent two player games are very hard to come by. Patchwork is fun but a little on the 'luck driven' side of things. Dominion is good but people that have played lots of card games before will have a clear edge. Netrunner is magnificent but unless you have someone to teach you, is harder to learn than braille. Hive is easy to learn but impossible to master. It's cheap (in the world of games anyway), and you can easily play it in the pub, airport terminal, back seat, 5 star restaurant, lift, portaloo etc. This is as close to the perfect game as it's possible to get without making a deal with the Devil. (disclaimer - I accept no responsibility for lost game tiles while participating in portaloo gaming. Game responsibly)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this version simply a physically smaller version of the original or are there gameplay differences? Thank you =]**
A: Exactly same but physically smaller. It includes 2 expansion pieces additionally to the base game: (1) lady bug (2) mosquito. You can play the base game without these.

Do note: Count your pieces and ensure they correspond to the correct proportions ie right number of each insect as incorrect tiles can be mistakenly packaged.

Pocket version is superior to the excessively large version imho for storage and portability and makes little or no difference to the game and is cheaper.

**Q: Pocket pieces are 10p size. What size are the regular?**
A: Pocket pieces are 25mm x 10 mm. Standard Hive pieces are 38mm x 12mm.

**Q: is there a pouch that comes with it**
A: yes a nice red one with hive logo on it. Fits all, base plus expansions. I have however seen other editions with different colored pouches.

**Q: Does this come with English instructions?**
A: If you make sure it says: (Dispatches from Amazon Sold by Gen42Games,) and not buy from any other seller, then yes it will come with English instructions. We cannot guarantee any other seller.
I hope that helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Travelling Game
*by B***1 on 2 March 2020*

I was torn between the 2 sizes and the 2 colour schemes. I decided upon the smaller size and the colour version. I have not been disappointed. The size is absolutely perfect, especially for travelling. In fact I would not want it any bigger. I think the colours are a personal choice and I am happy with the coloured tiles. The tiles look and feel of good quality and the travel bag they come with is great. I travel for work a lot and took this with me to teach to a friend and we both loved it. I did begin by playing without the 2 expansion pieces that come with this set to make it easier but I'm glad we had them as we soon wanted that extra challenge. The only downside is the instructions were in 4 languages none of which was English but we figured out how to play through a combination of pictures and the internet. It is a simple game with a lot of strategy. Each piece has a different movement with the aim being to completely surround the other persons queen. I would say the concept is similar to chess but it is quicker and much more fun!
