Hive

Product Review (submitted on February 26, 2014):

Hive is a very fun, highly strategic game similar to chess that uses hex pieces with bugs. Each bug has its own particular movement, and it's a game that really makes you think.

While I do I agree with the previous reviewer that the "bag" for the pocket version of the game could be better, I have to disagree with him in regards to the actual tiles themselves. Most games these days just give you cardboard, and these are engraved plastic that have quite a bit of weight to them and will definitely last a lifetime. I found them to be very impressive.

If smaller tiles bother you, though, then I'd suggest picking up the regular version. The pieces are larger and the game is just as portable. Personally, however, the pocket version is the best bargain since it does include the ladybug and mosquito expansions and can usually be found for under $20.
