About the game
Hive is the officially licensed digital take on the Mensa Select award-winning board game, where there is no board at all and the pieces themselves form the play area as they are added. Each piece follows its own movement rules, making for a deep strategic duel without anything physical to set up. It was developed and published by BlueLine Games in 2014.
