Super zum Lernen. Nicht verschenkbar.

Sehr schönes Spiel, gut implementiert. 2 Spieler auf einem Gerät und über Game Center. Gibt’s nicht oft. Und kein Abomodell!! Da stimmt einfach alles. Sehr schade, dass man die App nicht verschenken kann, sonst hättet ihr jetzt ein paar Kunden mehr.

Great except…

Great except for the neon green indicators for every possible move when pressing any potential tile… takes out the human element of being able to miss potential setups etc. Feels like an enormous crutch / tutorial level of hand holding. Would be great to be able to turn this off so it plays like an actual tabled game.

Go to Settings and turn Off the Show last move option to disable those green indicators. Looking forward to those 5 stars! :)

Yay hive is back

I’m so glad to see Hive back on phones. It’s one of the best board games and this new apps ai has shown me I am really really bad at this game. But that’s good because now I have to actually learn.
Great game and the fact that you can play the base game for free without restrictions shows a real respect for the players .. there’s no annoying ads or freemium garbage.. I’ll gladly pay to unlock the full game for that reason alone (plus I want my ladybug)

Welcome back to Hive! Don't worry, the AI is tough, but you'll get the hang of it. Thank you for supporting us and keeping the game ad-free. That Ladybug is waiting for you! 🐞

Hey the game is broken

The rules is if there’s ever a point where one player can’t legally move anywhere, the next player takes their turn instead. The game doesn’t know this and it just freezes with no one being able to move

Great digital version though!!!

You're mistaken, the Hive Game app knows this rule and works perfectly. You just haven't found the legal move on the board.

Thanks

I love the original game, I just discovered the app, I’ll probably buy it once I’m a bit better but the first games are already interesting, and no ad ! Rare enough to be noted.
Don’t mind the negative comments

Moyen…

App correct mais ergonomie et design minimaliste (trop?).

Les extensions sont payantes!!!

Mais le vrai problème c’est l’absence de matchmaking. Inutile pour moi de ne pas pouvoir jouer en ligne avec un système de ranking.

Merci pour votre retour. Malheureusement, le créateur du jeu n'autorise pas le matchmaking ni le système de classement. Nous vous demandons donc de ne pas noter l'application négativement pour cette raison.

Can’t wait for updates

I love the game but I believe there should be a way to view your previous matches so you can learn from them.
I feel this goes along with the philosophy of not having a tutorial. Also what is the AI pass function. It kept passing and let me win.

This is a great game

I got this game as a physical tile game for Christmas one year and I did not play it as much as I wanted to when it was on the iPhone. I played it a lot more. Now that there is an official digital edition with AI it really makes me think and challenges me a lot.

Thank you! We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the digital edition and that the AI provides a great challenge for you. Happy playing!

Addictive!

So glad that I can play this game for practice now without waiting for a friend to be available. Also super excited that hints have been added!

Great game! Clean app too.

I’m loving learning Hive. It would be helpful to have hints. I’m just a beginner and it’s quite hard to learn.

Thank you :) The hint system is planned. UPDATE: Done (1.3 version)

Excelente versão online

Excelente versão online. Contudo falta um ensino game melhor, com a sinalização de vitória ou derrota. E para melhorar a experiência seria bom implementar chat online para a gente se comunicar com amigos/pessoas online.

Love this App - good Mac version of iOS game

First off: Hive is an excellent strategic game that is easy to pick up BUT offers depth. Second, this app and its iOS sibling are excellent implementations of the board game: clean UI, challenging bot and some good (limited) human-to-human game capabilities, responsive design. If you are looking for a fun board game that does not take hours to learn or play, this is it.

Hive Review

It’s very fun and entertaining. A great way to hone your skills. No adverts either. Would be better if the bugs were a little more clean and polished but great overall.

Great way to play Hive!

Great app. I’d love to have the ability to review the game I just played and have a history of my games stored for review.

This would help me get a lot more out of practicing with the AI.

Strong AI opponent - nice implementation

I have enjoyed playing this for a few months now. The game itself is excellent and well known to me. The iOS version is clean, stable and has strong bots. Excellent for enjoying a quick game and good for training. Very addictive.

The Expansion Pieces

Great implementation of the game! Thank you
At present the Ladybug, Mosquito and Pillbug expansion pieces can only be selected for play on an all-or-none basis.
Would it be possible to allow Single Player games only to allow the expansions to be used individually or in combination so that (as with the physical version of the game) learners can build up their understanding of these pieces in a more controlled manner?
Thanks

Thank you for your review! Unfortunately, due to the way the AI was specifically developed, the expansion pieces cannot be enabled individually at this time; they can only be toggled all at once.
