Hive is an award winning board game with a difference. There is no board. The pieces are added to the playing area thus creating the board. As more and more pieces are added the game becomes a fight to see who can be the first to capture the opposing Queen Bee. The soldier ants battle to keep control of the outside of the hive, whilst the Beetles climb up to dominate the top. Spiders moving into holding positions as the Grass Hoppers jump in for the kill. Keeping one eye on the hive and the other on your opponents reserves, the tension builds as one wrong move will see your Queen Bee quickly engulfed; .... game over!

VektoRace is a board-less car racing game that simulates Formula 8 racing, with gear changes, boosts and tyre ware as you slowdown around corners. There is no board, you create your own race track with the corner octagons provided, any size and shape you like, and so the track will be different every time you play. The gears (Vekto Rods) determine how far you can travel in your turn and you must decide which gear to use on your next turn (up, down or stay in the same) before the end of your turn.
