Product Review

Hive is a board game with a difference - it does not have a board. If you enjoy strategy games like chess (and so long as you do not have an irrational fear of creepy crawlies), Hive could be the game for you.
In this book, Hive addict Steve Dee will introduce you to the game and give you some tips on how to become a good player. You will find out about pinning and pin releases, blocking, circling, piece selection, openings, deciding whether to attack or defend, controlling placement, how to use the pieces most effectively (including beetle attacks, and the new expansion pieces), playing defensively, and common mistakes to avoid.

"I like the book, it does do a good job in introducing the game and has some good elements of tactics."
~ John Yianni, inventor of Hive.
