Hive (EN)

Hive är ett mycket beroendeframkallande strategiskt spel för två spelare som inte är begränsat av ett bräde och kan spelas var som helst på vilken plan yta som helst. Basspelet i Hive består av tjugotvå bitar, elva svarta och elva vita, som liknar en mängd olika varelser var och en har ett unikt sätt att röra sig. 

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.
