About Hive
Hive is a strategic tile-placement game where you build the board itself as you play, maneuvering hexagonal bug pieces to encircle your opponent's Queen Bee. Play solo against adaptive AI, pass-and-play with friends, or challenge opponents online with full support for expansions and asynchronous matches.
Hive is a board game 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 (surround) the opposing Queen Bee.
Features:
- Play locally or online.
- Play against the Computer - AI with five difficulty levels.
- Includes "hot-seat"/"pass-n-play" mode for players with who want to share one mouse/keyboard or gamepad.
- Full 3D with camera-control
- Switch seamlessly between playing with mouse/keyboard and gamepad.
- Dozens of Steam Stats & Achievements.
- Same expansions as table-top version: the Pillbug, the Ladybug, and the Mosquito expansions are available as DLC.
- Each expansion can be turned on/off for any individual game. Play with these pieces online even if your opponent does not own the expansions! (they will also get to use the expansions during the game)
- Asynchronous play - you can play even when your opponent is offline.
- The Hive board game is a winner of many awards including "Mensa Select", "Dr. Toy: Product of Excellence", "Spiele Hits", "International Gamers Awards", and "Juego del año".

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Hive is a great, quick and fun "board game" without a board. The strategy is surprisingly deep for the simple premise and it's a lot of fun. This is a great adaptation of the the tile game as well, that works flawlessly and is easy to pick up. There's no tutorial but the rules are there to read. The AI is okay, but isn't hard enough at the high levels (on the plus side, that makes the achievement for the hardest AI pretty easy, I guess?). Online play works but is a little wonky - every time I made a game, I had to exit and rejoin it for it to work. But it did work.2 found this helpful
It's a great port of a great board-less "board game". The games are quick, the rules simple, and the game just works. The AI is okay, but not hard enough at the high levels. The online multiplayer still works but you have to exit and rejoin at the start of the game to make it work, which is mildly annoying but at least the multiplayer still works.2 found this helpful
Hexes bloom with thought Each move shapes tomorrow's path Quiet minds prevail
10/10
Hive, the game itself, is fun and well thought out. The software is good too but I've only been using offline mode because I'm a beginner.
So I am pretty ass at this game admittedly however it is extremely enjoyable and has a unique and fast paced strategy about it.
