I hate bugs and I hate Chess...

...but I LOVE Hive!  Imagine if Chess were much shorter, more intuitive, and far more dynamic (the pieces make up the board).  I've played 7 games of it this weekend alone which says a lot as I tend to avoid games of pure strategy.  Abalone was the last great abstract strategy game that I fell in love with but this one is much quicker and way more portable.

I imagine it's going to go really well with the mojitos next week on the beach...
