Hive - about the game
Experience the boardless strategy of Hive, where players build the playing area by placing pieces and compete to surround the opponent's Queen Bee. Pieces form the dynamic board as the game progresses, turning every match into a tactical battle of encirclement. Full 3D visuals let you control the camera for clear views of the action. Play locally, online, or against AI across five difficulty levels, with hot-seat mode for shared controls via mouse, keyboard, or gamepad. Switch effortlessly between input methods and enjoy asynchronous play even when opponents are offline. Casual strategy fans love the accessible indie design that delivers deep, competitive matches on PC.

Officially licensed version of the "Mensa Select" award-winning board game!

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".
