About This Product

 

Take the strategy of chess anywhere with Hive Pocket, the compact travel edition of the award-winning abstract strategy game. With no board required, players build the playing area as they go, creating a fast-paced tactical battle filled with clever moves and careful planning.

Each durable Bakelite-style resin tile features a different insect, with its own unique movement pattern inspired by the creature it represents. Your goal is simple — surround your opponent’s Queen Bee before they trap yours. While the rules are easy to learn, the depth of strategy makes every game different.

Hive Pocket includes the full base game along with the popular Mosquito and Ladybug expansion pieces, adding even more tactical possibilities. The compact size and drawstring pouch make it perfect for travel, cafés, holidays, or quick games on the go.

Product Features:

  • Portable travel version of the classic Hive strategy game

  • Includes 26 resin Hive tiles plus Mosquito and Ladybug expansions

  • No board required — ideal for travel and small spaces

  • Encourages strategic planning, tactical thinking, and spatial awareness

  • For 2 players, ages 9+

  • Tile size: Approx. 25 mm wide × 10 mm deep

  • Weight: Approx. 200g including storage bag

Fun Fact:
The original Hive won multiple international game awards and is often compared to chess because of its deep strategy and lack of luck-based gameplay. Despite having no board, experienced players can recognise advanced opening strategies and defensive formations much like traditional classic strategy games.
