Book excerpt: At the dawn of the century, John Yianni struck gold in creating Hive(R), a strategic game about using specialized bugs to surround an enemy bee. What makes this masterpiece so much fun is its simplicity. There are no complex rules that eject you from the puzzle mindset. Chance is off the table. There isn't even a board to set up. It's an intense duel with no sound... except for the satisfying "CLACK-CLACK" produced by the physical version. A quick search online will show that Hive claims a spot on virtually every list of top-ten strategy table games for two players. That is an important distinction-you can find the game of Hive without even searching for "the game of Hive." Alas, this beautiful game is starting to get its dues. And with that recognition, Hive strategies have crystallized and evolved... over and over. There are now many skilled players. So, if you're interested in competing at the highest level, you would benefit greatly from the perspective of a true master...Joe Schultz (Jewdoka), the 2017 Hive World Champion, exposes the intricacies of the game in "The Canon of Hive: Groundwork." As a devout practitioner of Judo, Jewdoka applies the principles of "the gentle way" to the game of Hive. This book will inspire you to maximize your efficiency and avoid the fruitless fight of strength vs. strength. You will also have the tools to create your own powerful style and perhaps one day claim the rank of champion.To facilitate your growing process, "Groundwork" quantizes the levels of Hive information into five levels: (1) Principle, (2) Fundamental, (3) Technique, (4) Tactic, and finally, (5) Strategy. By growing your skill in each level, you will have more room to expand your ability in the levels above. Because the main goal is to enable you to develop your own strategy, the bulk of this book hinges on level 3: Technique. In fact, 40 (yes 40!) technical tools sorted into five neat categories distilled for your creative combinations. But don't think that is the only part. The hinge is only as important as what it connects. You must start with your principle and ultimately arrive in your own Hive strategy.Despite having over 300 pages, Groundwork is an easy and captivating read. The bite-sized-chunk delivery allows you to learn something new or solidify a particular topic of interest within a restricted time frame. Just 5 min with this book is enough to unlock a hidden door that will help your gameplay right off the bat. You will want to come back to strengthen yourself time and time again. Groundwork is a great resource that will no doubt be a centerpiece on the lap of any interested player, no matter your skill level.Almost three years in the making, Groundwork has evolved to become the book that it is today. The long wait is over! Jewdoka is pleased to bring you "The Canon of Hive: Groundwork," with the blessing of the creator himself: "I have to say that this is an awesome book, I'm very impressed... This is a wonderful resource for the Hive community... It's such a joy reading the depth you have gone into." -John Yianni So, do you want to be the next Hive World Champion?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever lost a game or a match you KNOW should have been yours? Perhaps, your opponent distracted you. If, at any time during a competition, your concentration was destroyed, you were being set up to lose. Unfortunately, there are way to many players who use such tricks in order to gain an advantage. Like it or not, gamesmanship has become as much a part of table competition as the rules of the game. This book describes every dirty trick someone can play on you – and how to stop them. These situations are most often observed in sports competitions. They also happen in your family, spousal relationships, friendships, work, and in business. ++++++++++++ This book is a primer to help you survive life. The more easily you can recognize gamesmanship, the more fun it is to counter-respond. With this information, you no longer need to be the victim of someone else’s ruthless behavior. The book could never be complete enough to cover every possible ploy, but it will help you recognize when someone is playing with your head. Gamesmanship has been around forever. Tricks and traps to fool others have been used in nature since the beginnings of the food chain. It is so pervasive in the world that Sun Tzu incorporated trickery and deception in his “The Art of War”, and that was 2,500 years ago. Even at the first Olympics in ancient Greece, psychological sharking tricks and traps were used to distract and intimidate opponents. These were the guys who came up with the Trojan Horse – an ultimate shark if ever there was one. However fiercely you may cling to the high ideals of upstanding sportsmanship, the reality of the world is that there are many who do not. This book is your best educational tool.

Book excerpt: Hive is a board game with a difference - it does not have a board. If you enjoy strategy games like chess, and so long as you do not have an irrational fear of creepy crawlies, Hive could be the game for you. In this entertaining and easy-to-read book, Hive addict Steve Dee will introduce you to the game and give you some tips on how to become a good player. You will find out about pinning and pin releases, blocking, circling, piece selection, openings, elbows, pockets, deciding whether to attack or defend, controlling placement, how to use the pieces most effectively (including the new expansion pieces), playing defensively, and common mistakes to avoid. "I like the book, it does do a good job in introducing the game and has some good elements of tactics." John Yianni, inventor of Hive.
