Hive

Product Review (submitted on October 13, 2015):

When I teach this to kids or people who are not very “into" games, I will do so in three short games. I try to keep these first games very short by helping them to win fairly quickly.

The first game I will only use the Ants, the Beetles, and the Bee. I explain the moves of each piece and about not splitting the hive and that you can only move pieces that are able to slide out of their current position.

In the next game I will add the Spiders, explaining how they move. And in the last game, I will add the Grasshoppers. In my experience, the Grasshoppers seem to be the most difficult for people to understand so I save them for last so they have a good grasp of all the other pieces.

By the end of the third game they are excited and ready to play more.
