From the Publisher:
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.

For the record, it is Gen42.com, not Gen24 - mixed them up :)
Mmmmm, the carbon version is just so on point and stylish! One day I'll add it to my collection.
One of the best review of any game I've ever seen - and I watch them a lot. Very interesting and very easy and pleasant to listen, good diction good little story around the game, little history little bit of your opinion.... and you and the whole review look relaxed and very natural and I like that. Overall great job !!!
Thank you :) I’m still figuring out the review system on my channel - this was a much for conversational approach - I appreciate the feedback - it helps me gauge how to do reviews in the future.
Your review is the sole reason that I purchased hive. I'm more of a communal gamer. I think too many competitive games just teach you how to be an asshole (sorry comes to mind) My wife and I love Pandemic and play it probably 6 times a week with the expansion packs. It's the team vs the board. That's more my speed, but your passion in this review made us give it a shot and we love it. It might be stupid, but I feel like the game is me against the other hive instead of another player, even though I know it's the same. It just feels like it's me against the board. Thank you for this review. I have found a new not douchbaggy game and have gifted it out to multiple people. Keep up the good work and never lose your passion!
This was a great review. Makes me wanna buy the game!
Thank you :) if you are going to teach Mia chess - get this instead!
This is the most wholesome review of a game I’ve ever seen. It’s so heartfelt it gives me the warm fuzzies hahahaha
The price is closer to Hive Pocket than the colored, full size Hive with all expansions because you only need to get one expansion with Carbon and Pocket. It is elegant-looking and the creatures are still distinguishable despite no differentiation in color.
Great video! I was inspired and just ordered my Carbon copy with the pill bug exp :)
Just learned how to play, for a cost of $10-20 depending on what edition you buy it’s worth every penny. Strategy, depth and or just for simple fun, everyone will enjoy it. Great review
Thank you :) - I totally agree its a simple but deep game that is well worth the price! Glad you enjoyed the review and so glad you picked up the game!
I likewise prefer heavy strategy games over light- to medium-weight ones, but Hive is a strong exception to that rule. This is one of my all-time favorite games for its elegance and perfection. It only gets better with more plays. I've been anxious to try out the Hive Colony fan expansion for quite some time now. Such a solid game. Great video 👍🏼🐝
Time to go google Hive Colony . . .

I've seen Hive at my LGS but never played it. Found your channel while looking for a review and am instantly sold. Also, I just dropped a sub.
Oh! Thank you for the sub :) glad you found and enjoyed the review! I hope you enjoy hive - let me know after you play it!!
Well, shoot. Here I thought I was being clever by ordering a very compact, lightweight laser-cut wood version that was only 2/3 the price of Hive Pocket... but now I wonder if it's going to be as durable and just-toss-it-in-your-bag-able as the bakelite. Guess we'll see. Nice video!
I think I'd like this one. Seems simple enough to play but tough to master.
Simple to learn - tough to play :) totally worth checking out!
Picked up the Carbon Edition for myself and the Pocket for my aunts, I've not played it yet but I know I'll like it already. Great review, thanks for showing us these games.
My copy (also Carbon edition) is on the way, will arrive next Tuesday probably, and I'm very excited to play it already. Very cool review.
Subscriber #1K lol!
Oh, nice! I missed this post somehow :) - thank you for being 1,000!! Did your game arrive?!
I've always been curious about this game! It looks like a lot of fun, great video!
Yea it’s a very solid little game if you like games like chess :) without the headache!
@@Quackalope I've heard it compared to Chess and Go with a bit less time commitment and brain exploding complexity.
Excited for this one XD!
Well done review. I'm buying it.
Great game for you and Izzy to have on the go and it will last and get better as you lessen more and more games together!
Hello ! Amazing videos about HIVE. I already own Hive Pocket, but just purchase Hive Carbon because love the way you talks about it ns how it looks at your table :)
Thanks so much for checking the video out and letting me know! Carbon is my favorite because of how it looks!
How do you feel about the sizes?
I like the carbon colors but the idea of pocket size.
Good review there!
Thank you :) I’m still playing with the format of the reviews - but I was pretty happy with this one!
Very good video dude. Your opinion about the game is very interesting and useful for me.
Thanks :) I’m glad you enjoyed the review and found it useful - are you thinking of grabbing a copy of the game?
@@Quackalope Of course. I have just taken a copy, and today I made the unboxing. I saw some videos in my language, but today I saw yours and it was really good!
@@spirosgun1 Nice! I am really glad it helped you choose :) - it is a lovely game!
What about more new expansion tiles?
Is there anything else like Hive durability, portability, and as fun wise. Looking for another game that will last "forever" with its durability.
Maybe shobu? We have some coverage on it as well - it’s a beautiful game in the same lineup of thought!
I just discovered it. It is not my normal game, I am a word person usually, banagrams. I need to figure it out first before I teach my oldest who will play it with me.
Hello young Jesse :D
Hi :)
This guy wants to take Hive out to a nice seafood dinner.
I do like seafood.
My copy of Hive Pocket (along with a deck of cards) goes with us to the beach, the library, our fancy dinners, the mall, etc. You never know when you can find 10-20 minutes to play a game. And it beats everyone staring at their phones every spare minute they have.
What can you do to contribute to a game that's been covered so many times before? Introduce it to more people that are new to the game? Come on dude.
What’s up?
