Hive Mind

Welcome back!  Today's post is pretty short.  This weekend's plays were of a phenomenal little game called Hive against a good friend but new opponent.  We played several times, of which I have posted two pictures below.

 

In case you are familiar with the game and are wondering about the queen bee for black, she is underneath the pesky white beetle.

One of the nice things about this game is that it can basically be played anywhere, even on a local park table.  We were not responsible for the defacing of the table by the way.

This game ended in a tie!

The game is pretty simple.  I won't go into too much detail, but basically you have two choices during your turn.  Either put pieces into play from your hand or move with pieces already in play.  Your objective is to surround the opponent's queen bee.  We played the game multiple times and had a blast!  My opponent got quite good at it, and I expect we will have more intense games in the future!
