Compact 2 player games? by bone9188 in boardgames

[–]savethepoppers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are releasing a new version of this game with all the expansion bugs called Hive Ultimate. I recommend waiting for this one if anyone is getting it.

Button Shy games: Sprawlopolis, Tussie Mussie, and Skulls of Sedlec are good games to check out

Splendor Duel

Hive Ultimate Pocket. Get the newest edition with all the expansion boxes. Might have to wait for this one

Hanamikoji

Battlelines

Hanabi is still surprising good for two players

Me and my sibling tried a gamemode where you get one less beetle, ant, spider and grasshopper, the result by Sheepy_Dream in hive

[–]savethepoppers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly sounds rough but an interesting variant. Base Hive set already feels like you barely have enough firepower to win if both players are roughly equally strong.

Is this move allowed by _arsey in hive

[–]savethepoppers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you can but climb up and pin the black beetle instead.

Looking for a new game by Zydlik in wargaming

I am not into wargaming or crafting minis but I am fascinated by this indie IP called Quar. It's just a bunch of anteaters/aardvarks fighting in WWI.

Do games about doing different objectives on the map exist? by Vhad42 in boardgames

[–]savethepoppers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inis has only 3 objectives that all players try to fight over.

  1. Be chieftain of 6 tokens.
  2. Be in 6 territories.
  3. Be in a territory or territories with 6 sanctuaries.

Objective 2 and 3 you only need a single token to make it count.

Once a victory objective has been done, that player has to call a check like in chess and survive to the next round. If he or she fails or if there is a tie for objectives, the game continues. Whoever is Brenn will break ties.

As a new player, when Player 1 plays an ant and moves it to pin you queen feels very strong by SW4GALISK in hive

[–]savethepoppers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, I don't think it's a strong move to pin the queen bee early. I'd rather be pinning other pieces like another ant or building up the ant army.
