Expansion Hive Carbon: The Pillbug Expansion


We are proud to announce this special edition Hive Carbon. This game is still the same as our award winning flagship Hive® game, but with a Carbon twist which is an alternative to the existing set of pieces for those who prefer a classic black and white colour scheme. Included with this edition will be the infamous mosquito piece an a very special ladybug piece.

Hive is an award winning board game with a difference. There is no board. The pieces are added to the playing area thus creating the board. As more and more pieces are added the game becomes a fight to see who can be the first to capture the opposing Queen Bee.

The soldier ants battle to keep control of the outside of the hive, whilst the Beetles climb up to dominate the top. Spiders moving into holding positions as the Grass Hoppers jump in for the kill. Keeping one eye on the hive and the other on your opponents reserves, the tension builds as one wrong move will see your Queen Bee quickly engulfed; .... game over!

Brilliant Abstract

A quick playing chess-killer with beautiful components. Chess is great if you can dedicate your life to it, but with Hive you can enjoy a chess-like experience that is a lot more fun, and gives you time to learn and play your new euro games too!

Better than Chess!

I grew up playing Chess and have enjoyed it but was loosing my love for it.. so was I ever surprised when I found a game that was similar to chess but didn't use a board and could be played anywhere, even in the rain!! Like Chess, the game is easy to teach but difficult to master with each piece having it's own movement ability. Unlike chess there is no set board and the pieces move around (or on top) of each other until a queen bee piece is completely surrounded. The Carbon edition comes with expansions and I really love the professional Black and White look of this game. A great game for anyone that likes strategic no-luck games!!

Fabulous

Without question one of my favourite games ever - beautiful and satisfying components and a very fun strategy game that is (mostly) easy to travel with! Fair warning: My last trip on a plane resulted in the game being taken out of my bag and searched, something about the way it scans or something.
