Hive / iPhone : $4.99
Friday, October 23, 2009
Hive, a 2-player strategy game — and one of BoardGameGeek’s 100 best games of all time — is out on the iPhone. Like Othello, it’s ‘quick to learn, hard to master.’ It offers four levels of single-player play, two-player ‘pass the phone’ play, and four different tile sets.
At under $5, it’s worth checking out, if you like the abstract end of strategy board games.

Greetings Dave. Thanks for the review. First person who sends email to tom@lotuslandstudios.com and mentions this review gets a promo code for a free copy of Hive. I am the developer. Yes, I do just sit here waiting for reviews.
Good luck with your games of Hive, and watch out for more good stuff from both LotusLand Studios and John Yianni. Right now, we’re playing Army of Frogs on the table top, and it’s worth checking out at your local game store.

Hey, Tom! — thanks for the post.
I downloaded and played Hive yesterday — nicely done!
I love board games on the iPhone, and hope to see more quality conversions.
What are you guys working on next?
