Hive: Carbon

We are proud to announce the 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 a highly addictive strategic game for two players that is not restricted by a board and can be played anywhere on any flat surface. 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.

With 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 player to totally surround his opponent's queen wins the game.
