The Hive Pillbug Expansion piece is used as an add-on for the Standard Hive game. It adds an additional twist to the game play and it makes it a little more interesting.
The Pillbug is a new pair of tiles that can be added to Hive. The Pillbug moves like the Queen Bee – one space at a time – but it also has a special ability that it may use instead of moving. This ability allows the Pillbug to move an adjacent unstacked piece (whether friendly or enemy) two spaces: up on to the Pillbug itself, then down into an empty space adjacent to itself. This expansion set can be added to the standard Hive game.

Object of Expansion: The Pillbug moves one space at a time, but also has a special ability it may use instead of moving that allows it to move an adjacent piece (friendly or enemy) to another empty space adjacent to itself. This special ability makes the Pillbug a formidable defensive and offensive bug.
