Recently I bought <a href="http://www.amazon.com/TCI-875150-4-Hive-3Rd-Edition/dp/B000EN5ZLW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1321983253&sr=8-1">Hive</a>, a rather interesting abstract game. The objective is to place circle the opponents queen with six hex-angular stones. Each of the stones features a one of several insects that have different and quite unique properties in their movements. While the basic game comes with five different insects (including the queen) the edition I got also features two additional insects to bring even more depth into play.<br /><br />Hive is one of those games that are quite easy to understand and get deeper within minutes of play. Although there are only 12 pieces per player the sheer amount of different game possibilities and game changes make this game a definite recommendation.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GNaUZMoTAro/TszyKEto2uI/AAAAAAAAAnk/xCkZApLEXAI/s1600/CameraZOOM-20111111142103843.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GNaUZMoTAro/TszyKEto2uI/AAAAAAAAAnk/xCkZApLEXAI/s320/CameraZOOM-20111111142103843.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A game I played with Ago - No one won so far</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br />Verdict: Buy<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12328700-2835381438939098106?l=digital-chaos.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christian Körnerhttps://profiles.google.com/114977807950340119614noreply@blogger.com0Graz, Austria47.070714 15.43950446.984196000000004 15.281575499999999 47.157232 15.5974325tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12328700.post-28799686874989643332010-03-04T13:37:00.000+01:002010-03-04T13:39:38.416+01:00<p style="text-align: center">rebooting</p><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12328700-2879968687498964333?l=digital-chaos.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christian Körnerhttps://profiles.google.com/114977807950340119614noreply@blogger.com0
