Hive

A new bug joins the swarm with a knack for meddling: it shuffles its neighbours around the table, shoving friend and foe alike out of position. A small addition that opens up sharp new tactical tricks.

A self-contained tile that adds the Ladybug to the bug-stacking abstract — its unusual two-on-top, one-down movement opens up fresh tactical surprises around the hive.

Adds the shape-shifting Mosquito tile to the bug-stacking abstract — it borrows the movement of whatever creature it touches, changing its powers from turn to turn.

A new insect enters the hive — the Pillbug, which can move an adjacent piece (friend or foe) to any empty space around itself instead of moving itself. A single addition that opens up a world of tactical disruption for a game that already feels like nature's chess.

The Ladybug expansion piece for Hive moves two spaces on top of the hive then one space down, giving it rapid and flexible movement into otherwise surrounded spaces without climbing permanently. A fast and deceptive piece that opens new tactical lines.

The Mosquito expansion piece for Hive copies the movement of any creature it is currently touching, shifting its role throughout the game. Once it climbs atop the hive like a Beetle it keeps that movement until it descends. A single piece that adds strategic flexibility to every match.
