The base game of 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. Hive Carbon and Hive Pocket include the Mosquito and Ladybug expansions, for a total of 26 pieces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith 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 first player to totally surround the opponent's queen wins the game.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/154597\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRead More on Board Game Geek\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner(s): \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Yianni\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist(s): \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Yianni\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoard Game Geek Category(s): \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbstract Strategy\u003cbr\u003eAnimals\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoard Game Geek Mechanic(s): \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnclosure\u003cbr\u003eGrid Movement\u003cbr\u003eHexagon Grid\u003cbr\u003ePattern Movement\u003cbr\u003ePieces as Map\u003cbr\u003eSlide \/ Push\u003cbr\u003eThree Dimensional Movement\u003cbr\u003eTile Placement\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance - Smart Zone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47564862881892,"sku":"TCI 013","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/0619\/7092\/files\/pic8229329.webp?v=1766440672","url":"https:\/\/store.gglehi.com\/products\/hive-pocket","provider":"Game Grid - Lehi Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
