Hive (Multilingual)

The ants fight to maintain control outside the hive while the beetles climb to dominate the top.

The spiders move into position as the grasshoppers prepare to jump.

With one eye on the hive and the other on your opponents' supplies, the tension mounts! Watch out for false moves or the Queen Bee will quickly be surrounded and the game over!

Each player leads several insects in an attempt to surround the opposing Queen Bee. Each type of insect has its own movement: the grasshopper moves by jumping over the pieces, the ant can move by sliding around the pieces that are placed, the spider moves three squares...

You can only move a piece if it is free, i.e. you can move it by sliding it without moving any pieces around it. There can only be one hive (one set of pieces) which cannot be divided.

The pieces are made of bakelite, painted and engraved, so they are washable and very solid. The game does not require a board and can therefore be played anywhere.
