What is Hive Pocket

Hive is a strategic game for two players that is not restricted by a board and can be played anywhere on any flat surface. The base game of 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. Hive Carbon and Hive Pocket include the Mosquito and Ladybug expansions, for a total of 26 pieces.

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

Genial!, un ajedrez moderno. La ambientación no podría ser mejor, insectos hexagonales con sus propios movimientos construyen la colmena que es el tablero

The best option if you travel or just want to bring the game at some reunion, actually, you don't need a lot of space like the normal one.

Bueno: gran juego con muy buenos materiales, ocupa super poco, fácil de transportar con su bolsa, muy bonito esteticamente y muy original. Malo: solo es para dos personas
