My rematcher did an awesome job! I love trying new games and it just so happens I live with 2 entomologists (my boyfriend and his best friend). Not sure if it was a lucky guess or if he just knows how to stalk really well :). But not only did he make me happy but also my whole house happy. It has the same basis as chess (meaning certain characters can move certain ways) but you don;t have to have a board. My boyfriend has tried to teach me chess multiple times and it still hasn't stuck in my brain. Hopefully, this game will help ease my way into it. This weekend is going to be fun! Here is the description I pulled off of its website:

Hive is a board game with a difference. There is no board! The pieces are added to the playing area thus creating the board. As more and more pieces are added the game, it becomes a fight to see who can be the first to capture the opposing Queen Bee.

The soldier ants battle to keep control of the outside of the hive, whilst the Beetles climb up to dominate the top. Spiders moving into holding positions as the Grass Hoppers jump in for the kill. Keeping one eye on the hive and the other on your opponents reserves, the tension builds as one wrong move will see your Queen Bee quickly engulfed; .... game over!
