About the game

What is Beehive

User summary:

This is an arithmetic puzzle game in which addition is the key to victory! Ten pieces inscribed with the numbers 1 to 10 are placed on the board and the person with the higher number left over at the end is the winner. If one player runs out of legal moves and cannot place a piece during the game, he loses.

Pieces are placed next to one another on the board. To place a piece next to a single other piece on the board, a player must place a piece with a higher number (whether even or odd). To place a piece next to two or more other pieces on the board, a player must place a piece a piece with the same number as the first digit of the sum of the pieces already on the board.

The game demands that players do a lot of addition to find the pieces that can be placed and to understand the strategy behind it.
