Been playing it for 3 days with my 6 year old son. I've never seen him so focused and while I've been helping him win atleast 50% of the time, he's starting to form real strategy. It's an amazing game that seems to grow with you.

Thats so cool! My favorite way to play with less experienced players is by making up crazy strategies and see how they pan out. Like “Only ladybugs and pillbugs” or “all grasshoppers and spiders”. Makes for some really silly games and lets them catch on while you are messing around!

I appreciate the woodsy, camping aesthetic of this video; it's achingly beautiful. I also appreciate your enthusiasm about this thoughtful, engaging and fun game that will connect me with the ones I love while going off grid and all mod cons when camping. The fact that you did it in the rain was perfection; we play the hand we're dealt. the fact that you showed the play on a mossy stump - swoon. thanks just doesn't seem adequate.

I watched it like 3 times, the production and style was awesome. And your idea of showing us different games with different approaches is great. Definitively I'm going to have now this channel on my radar ~ Also on 2:24, you could do a ASRM video with game tiles in that forest... I definitely would watch it haha ~

Hey thank you so much for the kind words! If you travel at all, even if its tiny trips get Hive Pocket. It is cheaper, gorgeous, and I adore the tiles, I think they are the perfect size. If you have a chess table and want to leave it out, get Carbon. It is a much bigger footprint that looks incredible on a table. Also, multiple people have told me that my Scythe review is Board Game ASMR so apparently I should lean in to it.

The Hive Pocket can be played on a smaller surface than the standard size Hive. I can squeeze it into a loaded backpack. It's always in my backpack now. I recreate games I've played on the mobile game. Once you know the pieces, you can remember their moves much like chess. I didn't hesitate to get the pillbug as it already had the first two expansions.

Cool production, I had honestly sworn off Hive for being too chess like for my taste, but I think you've talked me into giving it another go. How do you like the deluxe Hanabi with the tiles? I literally had it with me when my brother, myself and our girlfreinds got caught in a bit of snow and rain and ended up playing it while we dried off in a pub. I think that shows the same kinda magic as you describe from Hive Pocket.
