Makerworld has significantly reduced the download/print points awarded to designers. Instead, they have introduced the "Boost" token, which you can apply to models that may not be the most popular (already gaining points from downloads and prints), but are useful or meaningful to you in general. This supports and encourages us, the "losers" (those not focusing on popular themes like Star Wars, car keychains, countless airless balls, etc.), to create more useful or niche designs.
This is my take on the strategic board game - HIVE. I have also included a small storage box, perfect for bringing it along on a trip. Play the game on the train, on the plane, on a yacht, or on the Boeing Starliner. No matter where you are, it's a fun game to enjoy with your loved ones.

Multicolored:
There are two types of tiles: one with the insect symbol protruding (Yang) and the other with the symbol engraved (Yin). The colors on the Yang's tiles are determined by layer height, so don't be confused if you intend to change the color by painting.
Dual color:
If you prefer dual colors and not multicolored tiles, I have included two profiles with Yang's tiles—one set with black tiles and white insects, and another with the colors reversed.
No AMS manual color changing:
I have also included a profile that pauses for manual color/filament changing for those who do not have AMS.
Simply start the printing process, it will halt at the color changing point. Your nozzle will cool down automatically, just reheat it to 250°C in Bambu Studio and click "unload" for filament removal. Load your desired color, extrude a few times to clear the previous color, and then press the 'resume' button in Bambu Studio.
The game:
Hive, designed by John Yianni and published in 2001 by Gen42 Games, is an abstract strategy game with a bug theme. The objective in Hive is to encircle the opponent's queen bee, capturing it, while safeguarding one's own queen from capture. The game combines elements of tile-based games and traditional board games.
A complete Hive set comprises a total of 22 pieces, evenly distributed with 11 pieces allocated to each player. These pieces, symbolizing various creatures and possessing distinct movement capabilities, are color-coded (feel free to change the colors):
1 Queen Bee (Yellow-Gold)
2 Spiders (Brown)
2 Beetles (Purple)
3 Grasshoppers (Green)
3 Soldier Ants (Blue)
