Today, both the Mac and Linux versions of Hive are released! This means that you can play from any major OS against your friends on any major OS!
If you're not familiar w/the process: you buy the game once and it works on all of the platforms... they're not really different "products".
Please spread the word to any of your friends who run OSX or Linux, and we can continue to build up the online community!
PS: To celebrate the release, the game will be 20% off for the next week! For technical reasons the two-pack can't start its discount until tomorrow, but it looks like all of the other discounts are live right now!
Officially licensed version of the "Mensa Select" award-winning board game!
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 becomes a fight to see who can be the first to capture (surround) the opposing Queen Bee.
Features:
Play locally or online.
Play against the Computer - AI with five difficulty levels.
Includes "hot-seat"/"pass-n-play" mode for players with who want to share one mouse/keyboard or gamepad.
Full 3D with camera-control
Switch seamlessly between playing with mouse/keyboard and gamepad.
Dozens of Steam Stats & Achievements.
Same expansions as table-top version: the Pillbug, the Ladybug, and the Mosquito expansions are available as DLC.
Each expansion can be turned on/off for any individual game. Play with these pieces online even if your opponent does not own the expansions! (they will also get to use the expansions during the game)
Asynchronous play - you can play even when your opponent is offline.
The Hive board game is a winner of many awards including "Mensa Select", "Dr. Toy: Product of Excellence", "Spiele Hits", "International Gamers Awards", and "Juego del año".
