Hive – Pocket Edition serves up the award‑winning abstract strategy of Hive in a pocket‑sized travel version. Designed for two players aged 9 and up, this compact edition retains all of the strategic depth and elegant tactility of the original game—with a footprint that fits a backpack or small tabletop anywhere.

This version includes 26 hexagonal insect tiles (13 black, 13 white), representing queen bees, ants, spiders, beetles, grasshoppers, plus the Mosquito and Ladybug expansions. Each piece measures approximately 25 mm across and 10 mm deep, and everything packs into a soft drawstring pouch weighing only ~200 g—just a third of the original edition’s weight, making it perfect for travel and casual play.

Gameplay mirrors the classic Hive rules: players take turns placing or moving tiles, each insect type obeying its unique movement pattern. The goal is simple but rich in tactical complexity—to completely surround your opponent's Queen Bee with either colour of tiles. The game plays in ~20 minutes, with tension, strategy, and position-shaping evolving right up to the defining surround move.

• Complete Portable Edition: Includes Hive Pocket base game plus Mosquito and Ladybug expansions within a compact kit
• Travel‑Ready Design: Lightweight (~200 g) and small—ideal for flights, camping, cafés, or small airplane trays
• Strategic Play: Same depth as classic Hive with insect-specific movement rules that reward careful planning
• Fast Matches: Typically finishes in 15–20 minutes, ideal for repeat play or quick duels
• No Board Required: Tiles themselves form the hive structure dynamically as gameplay unfolds

Hive – Pocket Edition captures the essence of Hive with full strategic weight in a convenient format. Whether you're on the move or clearing a small table, it's your perfect mobile abstract game companion.
