Description
Hive is a board game from John Yianni 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!

Awesome game! I got the board game and then found this. It's a great way to learn about how the pieces move. The AI is great in terms of the difficulty. No issues at all.

Just get it, it is great. The difficulty is really accurate. I would pay to have the expansion.
★★★★★DrBunhead· Dec 31, 2024
Different levels of difficulty and suggested move option make this an excellent way to both learn Hive and to develop a high level of play.

Downloaded, tried to play but had to make an account. Didn't prompt me to make a password during sign up with Google so then had to follow the password reset process, after that, tried to log in and account wasn't recognized. Uninstalled, what a load of trash.

Unusable for me on an android phone. If the app worked as designed it would be great, but everything about the game interface is broken
