VR Games Hive Pocket Family Domino and Tile Games

Great game for those that like the idea of chess. However, this game is much more simple than chess (and arguably better for it). I had no problem playing with my partner who is not interested in chess whatsoever. Pros: - Full game in a pocket size (slightly smaller tiles than the original) - Comes with drawstring travel bag that is perfect for stuffing into your carry-on luggage - Mosquito and ladybird expansion tiles included (add a slight complexity for regular players) - Lovely coloured tiles (no idea why anyone would purchase the black/white version) - Perfect for playing almost anywhere: no board, just play anywhere with a flat surface! Cons: - I have spotted one other expansion that isn't included: pillbug. Would be nice for them to update this pack to include, rather than charge £7-11 (prices I can see right now) for two extra tiles. - Not a problem for me, but mine also came with slight marks underneath the tiles as others have commented. I don't think this is from previous use, but is instead an issue with manufacturing/storage. Barely noticeable anyway. Final thoughts: Excellent game, I would buy it again. The cons listed are very picky, but worth pointing out.

It’s definitely a game we don’t leave home without!

I bought this pocket game for my adult daughter who had played it with another group of adults. The game is extremely portable and contained within a fabric draw string pouch. The pieces are either black or white and maintain an engraving of sorts of various insects along with the main piece being a 'bee'. In some regards the game is like playing chess as each 'insect' has a designated amount of movement allowing pieces to jump others as both sides try to surround the opposition's 'bee'. Very immersive, thought provoking definitely value for money. The pieces and the pouch are of good quality and whilst it may take a little time understanding each of the pieces, it is worth that time as gradually one gets better and better. Excellent purchase.

Hive Pocket is genuinely a brilliant game. Compact, clever, and surprisingly intense for something that looks like bug-themed dominoes. The strategy is deep, the pieces are satisfyingly chunky, and it’s perfect for travel, unless your travel companions are allergic to thinking more than one move ahead. Unfortunately, in our household, Hive has become the board game equivalent of eating your vegetables. It’s good for you, but no one’s excited about it. I bring it out, and suddenly everyone remembers urgent tasks like reorganising the sock drawer or staring blankly at the wall. It’s not Hive’s fault, it’s ours. We’re more of a “throw dice and yell” kind of crowd than “quietly trap the queen bee in a hexagonal death spiral.” So while I respect the game immensely, it’s collecting dust next to other noble misfits like chess and the treadmill. If your family enjoys tactical duels and doesn’t flinch at the word “abstract,” Hive Pocket is a gem. If not… maybe stick to games with explosions or plastic swords.

Brilliant but simple strategy game for two players - in a highly portable version.

divertido, excelente juego. Es como ajedrez pero en una versión mas bella

A travel version of Hive with all the add ons Vs the original version, this set is actually more worthwhile and easier to set up - though the pieces move easily out of place as it is lighter. Take time to learn the rules and you're off to a good time if your opponent is similarly skilled :)

Super

Hive is a fun game that doesn't take long to learn and has elements not unlike chess or checkers. We were able to learn the game in less than 10 minutes, but that's only the beginning since each game we've played since, we've realized new stragies and methods to beat your opponent. This game can provide hours of fun and has great replayability. The one thing to note is that if you don't enjoy games like chess or checkers there is a good chance you won't like this game. This is the perfect edition of hive as it comes with a travel bag, and the peices are the perfect size, not too big or small. It also comes with the expansion peices which you would have to pay extra for otherwise. Package came in good condition.
