About:

The ants fight to keep control outside the hive while the beetles rise to dominate the top. The spiders take their positions as the grasshoppers get ready to jump.
Keeping one eye on the hive and the other on your opponents' reserves, the tension builds! Watch out for false moves or the Queen Bee will be quickly surrounded, and the game will be over!

:

Each player controls several insects with the aim of encircling the opposing Queen Bee. Each type of insect has its own movement: The grasshopper moves by jumping over pieces, the ant can slide around the pieces that are laid down, the spider moves three spaces...

A piece can only be moved if it is free, meaning it can be slid without moving the surrounding pieces. There can only be one hive (one complete set of pieces) that cannot be divided.
