Hive pocket is the very same wonderful game we all love, but in a compact version. With all its pieces in a portable small cloth bag, this game can provide fun just about anywhere! This edition includes two bonus pieces, the Mosquito and the Ladybug expansions to the game which provide additional hours of fun! The object: To surround your opponent's queen bee while trying to block your opponents from doing the same. Each player has 13 tiles; representing different insects. Each insect has a unique way of moving (as in chess) and resembles the movement of the insect depicted on the tile.Contents:26 Hexagonal tilesRulesCloth bagAges: 9+Players: 2Game Length: 20 minutes

“The pocket-sized version of Hive comes with a cloth travel bag and both the ladybug and mosquito expansions (which aren't recommended to be used on the first few playthroughs, but you certainly can). I opted for this smaller version over the regular for the built-in expansions and the more portable size. I'm a taller guy with large hands and the smaller bakelite game pieces than the original game were still fine to use. Not too tiny at all. This game offers a lot in terms of replayability and has a depth of strategy to it that can evolve as two players learn the game together. If you're interested in tactile, abstract style games then this will be a hit! Highly recommended.”

“Fantastic two player game. Chess in 15 minutes or less. And you can bring it anywhere, because it doesn't need a board and it's waterproof. Highly recommend.”

“I've been recommended this game so many times. Worth it. It's easy to learn, hard to master, and has made for one of my new favorite games to throw in my travel bag”

“Perfect 2-player game for those who like thinky, strategic, open information games, such as chess or Onitama. Easy to teach. Plays quickly. Perfect also for taking camping or traveling. Lightweight (but chunky waterproof tiles), in a tiny pouch, with no cards to get wet or blow around. Small enough to play on an airplane’s tray table. Besides having my own copy, I have bought this for friends and family who loved it. Highly recommend this game!”

“Good instructions with game play examples. First couple of games were a learning experience. The pocket edition has a couple of expansion insects, which adds good complexity.”
