Hive

Hive is an abstract strategy game created by Hobbits. Game is played without a board and therefore can be played on any open surface. The various pieces are named after insects with an end goal of trapping your opponent's queen bee.

Normally each player brings his own set of stones to a game. It is common for these to be hand made, often from river stones. A traditonal set of stones includes : 1 Queen, 2 Spiders, 2 Beetles, 3 Grasshoppers, and 3 Ants. There are additional pieces which can be added to the game if both players agree, most notably the Mosquito and the Ladybug.

Note: This is a real world game added to the gameworld for flavor.
