You guys are great. Got Hive (Carbon, the B&W pieces are Soooo classy) today. Played it only twice but am already in love with how fun, quick and portable it is.
Me and my friends find it a little less repetitive to rule against the beetle pinning down the bee. I don't know if that prevents us from fully playing or not but it keeps is fair. :)
Great to see your wife do the review with you. And although I think Vasel has been a better reviewer (more experience), I can see you're getting better. Plus, having your wife review the game with you is something Vasel doesn't offer!
Just wanted to say that you can play Hive online at a few different websites, which will help you play the game and decide if you like it enough to buy it.
Yeah, you married up, Joe! Just yankin' you ... maybe ;)
Good review of an abstract classic, and I'm glad that you're into more than just war-games.
It should be noted though, that Hive should be played with the "opposition rule": queens can't Ever come into contact with each other. Otherwise, at the higher levels it suffers from draw-death. I'm not sure if this is the standard rule yet, but it's used for the world championship.
Awesome review! Thanks Joe & Monica!! Hive reminds me of a combination of Chess and Army of Frogs. Definitely putting this on my wishlist

I can't stand Vasel's reviews... he's so spastic... and kind of whitebread.
And I hate his tie fetish.

Nice review and cool to have Monica in front of the camera for once. Hive is a great game, and one of my favorites.
