Makes the game more complex
Same material and quality as the original Hive pieces. The new moves of the expansion pieces keep the game interesting. Make sure you don’t buy the travel size pieces unless you have the travel size game. Kind of expensive, but I felt the added complexity it added to the game was worth the price.

Great add-on for Hive
This has a special ability that makes it the most powerful defensive piece in the hive. Brilliant concept for a pillbug!Well-made. Same high quality and feel as orig pieces.

Love the game
No regrets buying, except for the high price for two pieces. But we do like the game, and having additional bugs is even more fun.

Hive has become my favorite new game (Even though it's been out for years
Hive has become my favorite new game (Even though it's been out for years, I just discovered it). I like that the Gen42 has added expansion pieces to an already great game to add new elements of depth. The Pillbug is pretty cool in that it has the ability to move an adjacent piece (yourself or your opponent) two spaces: up onto itself and then down into another empty space adjacent to itself. There are restrictions, however, which makes understanding how to use it less intuitive in gameplay and less user-friendly to commit to memory than other pieces:1. cannot move a piece that was just moved by another player in their previous turn2. cannot move a stack of pieces3. cannot move a piece that splits the hive (violating the 1 hive rule)4. cannot move a piece through a narrow gap of stacked pieces (violating the Freedom to Move rule)5. a piece moved by the Pillbug may not move again on the next turnTruthfully, I often forget I have one in my options/gameplay, and when I want to bring the Pillbug into play, it's usually deliberate vs. a natural strategic move. For that reason, though, it can catch your opponent off guard and raise havoc.

Superb addition to the game
The pillbug expansion is a great addition once you have learned the base game. It makes you think a little more than what you already had to do before and allows you to escape sometimes if your opponent does not understand its power!
