Alignment and Abstract Strategy Games

Hive is a bug-themed tabletop abstract strategy game designed by John Yianni and published in 2001 by Gen42 Games. The object of the game is to capture the opponent's queen bee by having it completely surrounded by other pieces, which may belong to either player, while avoiding the capture of one's own queen. Hive shares elements of both tile-based games and board games. It differs from other tile-based games in that its tiles, once placed, can then be moved to other positions according to various rules, much like chess pieces.
