Awesome game, fairly featured implementation. I thought I had seen an issue but it was not!! The developer acted very quickly to clarify my error! The app is great!

Lots of glitches to start a online game. The game won't allow you to move at the start of a game. But sometimes unfreeze by chatting or logging in again. But fun to play if it works.

The game is one that is easy to learn with a lot of strategy. It's great for when you only have a small amount of time to invest. The graphics are elegant and clear. The layout, overall, is logical and easy to navigate. Thanks for making this app.

If you know the physical game, this is a faithful digital implementation with no gimmicks, superfluous graphics, or obtrusive ads. If you have never played Hive, it's a phenomenal game that fans of chess and shogi will love--try it out!

Does exactly what it needs to without any unnecessary fluff or ads. Great app version of an amazing boardgame.

Fun game but online play is very clunky. Game doesn't always refresh when a move is made, get booted from the room, unclear when the game ends, recent games menu is blank.

About this app

Hive is a board game from John Yianni with a difference. There is no board! The pieces are added to the playing area thus creating the board. As more and more pieces are added the game becomes a fight to see who can be the first to capture the opposing Queen Bee.

The soldier ants battle to keep control of the outside of the hive, whilst the Beetles climb up to dominate the top. Spiders moving into holding positions as the Grass Hoppers jump in for the kill. Keeping one eye on the hive and the other on your opponents reserves, the tension builds as one wrong move will see your Queen Bee quickly engulfed... game over!
