Hex Hive: Larvae 2024

Gameplay

Players take turns moving one Larva at a time. Larva can only move by jumping over other Larvae. Players can jump over their own Larvae or their opponents’ Larvae. To Jump, a Larva must start in the Hex next to the first Larva it jumps overs. To end a Jump, there must be an empty Hex to land in. Each Jump must be in a straight-line. Each Jump is over all Larvae next to each other in the line (i.e., the Jump can be any length until an open Hex). Multiple jumps are allowed in a single turn, as long as there are Larvae to jump over and empty spaces to land on. Larvae cannot jump backward. Larvae are not captured (i.e., no Larvae are removed from the board during the game). In the rare event a player cannot make a move, they must pass their turn. Jumping is not mandatory (i.e. you can stop jumping at any time and do not need to continue jumping

if you do not want to).

Game End

The first player to move all their Larvae into the back two rows, on the opposite side of the board, wins the

game.

This game is based upon the classic game Halma.
