Compact, tactile, and perfect for players aged 13 and up, it deepens gameplay complexity without requiring batteries or assembly. ## Description Hive Pillbug Carbon is a new pair of tiles that can be added to Hive. The pillbug moves like the queen bee - one space at a time - but it also has a special ability that it may use instead of moving. This ability allows the pillbug to move an adjacent un-stacked piece (whether friendly or enemy) two spaces: up on to the pillbug itself, then down into an empty space adjacent to itself. Review: Interesting game - Fun. Quick. Strategic. Excellent game for evenings or camping trips. Had some issues convincing my spouse to play against me thought, she’s never been fond of chess and bugs. At least now she gets to kill spiders by herself. Review: Nice production - It is an expansion to the game Hive (Carbon ed.). Good pieces, do what they should. Very tactile game. ## Features - Hive Carbon is needed to use this expansion - Adds depth and complexity - Expansion for the MENSA Select game ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00JH9JYE8 | | Are Batteries Required | No | | Battery Types | No Battery Required | | Brand | Ghenos Games | | CPSIA Cautionary Statement | Choking Hazard - Small Parts, No Warning Applicable | | Character | Pillbug Carbon | | Colour | black | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Package Type | Reinforced Box | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 361 Reviews | | Edition | Standard Edition | | Educational Objective | Develop logical thinking and problem solving | | Expansion For | MENSA Select | | Game Mechanics | strategy | | Genre | Cooperative | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00799599208231 | | Included Components | game pieces | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 11.9 x 11.9 x 1.3 Centimeters | | Item Part Number | TCI016 | | Item Type Name | Board Game | | Item Weight | 64 g | | Manufacturer | Renegade Game Studios | | Manufacturer Part Number | TCI016 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | No Warranty | | Manufacturer recommended age | 8 years and up | | Material | carbon | | Minimum Age Recomendation | 156 | | Model Number | TCI016 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Players | 2 | | Operation Mode | manual | | Set Name | Hive | | Size | One Size | | Theme | Hive | | UPC | 799599208231 064194221191 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ghenos Games - **Material:** carbon - **Genre:** Strategy - **Number of Players:** 2 - **Edition:** Standard Edition ## Images ![Team Components Hive Pillbug Carbon Expansion Board Game (2 Players, Ages 13+) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rsJnYe16L.jpg) ![Team Components Hive Pillbug Carbon Expansion Board Game (2 Players, Ages 13+) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xZWxwlwBL.jpg) ![Team Components Hive Pillbug Carbon Expansion Board Game (2 Players, Ages 13+) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21N1sQjGFsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting game *by F***S on 30 May 2024* Fun.
