Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based Hive board-game playground with bot opponents, branching analysis, online tables, and tactical position insights.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-11 issue.

Field notes

The playground combines a playable Hive board with Nokamute bot search, move-history branching, and overlays for concepts including ant mobility, beetle control, queen escapes, and structural pins. Its analysis panel offers depth 3, 5, and 7-ply searches and compares three tactical alternatives, while explicitly warning that the heuristic is not win-probability proof. The page also supports Classic and Base+MLP PGN or UHP imports and describes invite-link multiplayer with server-validated moves.
