About Hive
Hive is a board game for two players with no fixed board: you place pieces to create the playing area, then try to be the first to capture the opposing Queen Bee by surrounding it.
Ways to play
Play locally, online, against the computer or in hot-seat mode, sharing one mouse and keyboard or gamepad. The computer opponent has five difficulty levels. Asynchronous play lets you continue a game while your opponent is offline.
Pieces and expansions
The Pillbug, Ladybug and Mosquito expansions are available as DLC. You can enable or disable each expansion for an individual game. In online games, you can use expansion pieces even if your opponent does not own them, and your opponent can use them too.
Game features
The game is presented in full 3D with camera control. You can switch between mouse and keyboard and gamepad during play, and the game includes dozens of Steam Stats and Achievements.
