Honestly, I couldn't imagine them being any bigger that how they are in the pocket edition. **Q: Are the Mosquito and Ladybug expansions compatible with Pocket Hive? Or are they included as additional pieces for the base Hive set?** A: Hive Pocket is a full, but smaller version of Hive, and it includes the Mosquito and Ladybug expansions. The tiles included are meant to be paired with the Hive Pocket set, as they are smaller pieces than the original set. **Q: Are the instructions in English?** A: Yes, the included instructions were in English when I ordered here -- and there is also PDF version on the publisher's website at http://www.gen42.com/downloads/rules/hive_pocket_rules.pdf **Q: What are the dimensions of both the original and the pocket tiles?** A: The diameter of the pocket game pieces are slightly less than 1 inch.

We both play strategy games and enjoy them but I just have such a hard time with chess. I looked into strategy games and found this. I remembered playing it once with my sister and thought it could be fun to get. It look me a long time to decide what version to get. I got the pocket version which is about half the size of the normal one. I did it for the expansion and color. There is a carbon version that has the two expansions like the pocket version but is the normal size and is all black and white.Honestly this is one of the most simple yet super fun games I have come across. I am very glad I bought it. My husband also loves this game. It was the perfect birthday gift for him! The pieces are very well made and are like dominoes. The game comes with a bag that has more than enough room for all the pieces including the expansion that it came with. The game itself seems a little complicated at first but I played with the instructions in front of us and we both got it in just a couple games. It is definitely a little pricey but I waited for a small sale and I think it was totally worth it.Overall I would definitely recommend this game. It is super fun and well made. It is a little easier than chess but still has plenty of strategy involved. My husband’s only complaint about the game was he wished the pieces were bigger. The game has a rule about moving pieces, if it can’t slide into a spot it can’t go there (with the exception of a couple bugs). I could play with the pocket version just fine and knew if a piece could slide into a spot but my husband struggled a little more with it.Just letting you know, if you are wondering if your beetle can sit on your opponent’s bee and spawn your pieces around it, yes. Yes you can. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely portable great little fun 20-minutes game that requires strategic thinking. *by on Reviewed in the United States January 17, 2013* This game has little hexes with different insects on them, and each type moves differently (like how chess pieces each move differently). This "Pocket" version still has pieces that are plenty big enough for play on any table, etc. I can't imagine needing the full-sized version, especially since the hive can sometimes sprawl a little bit. Plus this Pocket version includes the "ladybug" and "mosquito" expansions, which are aren't cheap to buy separately for the original version of the game.The object of the game is to surround your opponents queen before your opponent surrounds yours -- and the hive can never split, so all pieces must touch each other in a contiguous mass (with gaps). Pieces move like this:Queen: Slide-moves one space any direction while staying connected to the hive.Grasshopper: Hops over pieces to the next open space in that direction.Spider: Slide-moves exactly 3 spaces without backtracking.Ant: Slide-moves to any position you can slide it to (but not into holes that would require insertion from above).Beetle: Moves one space per turn, but can slide or move on TOP of other pieces.Ladybug (included expansion): Must move 3 spaces such that the first 2 are on top of the hive, and the 3rd brings it back down to table level.Mosquito (included expansion): Can take the movement characteristics of any creature it is touching at the beginning of the turn, so if it is beside a spider and a grasshopper, the mosquito can jump to the next open space like the grasshopper, or can slide 3 spaces like the spider. If the mosquito is acting like a beetle and moves on TOP of the hive, it plays as a beetle until it comes back to table level.We found it helpful to play without the expansions the first couple times, and then add the expansions one at a time. It's fun to see how strategies develop experimentally when you aren't taught strategies to begin with, so a strategy that works in the first game or two might cease to work quickly. I'm sure that as we play more, eventually we'll end up with some more robust strategies. Our first couple games went a little slowly while we referenced the rules frequently and tried to guess how moves would impact the game. It seems like 20 minutes will probably be the average game duration.If this type of creatively simplified chess mechanic sounds interesting to you, I certainly recommend you check it out! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great game *by on Reviewed in the United States July 30, 2026* I saw multiple reviews on this and many people recommending it. It's a great game that I ended up liking more than I expected and while I'm not big into board games etc., I'd put it in my top 5. It's easy to learn, travel with, and generally playable by anyone. I played it with my wife a t the hospital while she was in the delivery room. ## Frequently Bought Together - Smart Zone Games Hive Pocket Portable Strategic Board Game for 2 Players – Includes Ladybug & Mosquito Expansions – Compact Travel Version of The Award-Winning Hive Game - Smart Zone Games Hive Pocket Pillbug Expansion for 96 months to 1188 months - Azul Mini Board Game - Portable Tile-Placement Fun, Strategy Game for Kids and Adults, Ages 8+, 2-4 Players, 30-45 Minute Playtime, Made by Next Move Games --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/10593581-smart-zone-games-hive-pocket-game](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/10593581-smart-zone-games-hive-pocket-game) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-09-22*
