Hive: The Pillbug is a new pair of tiles that can beadded to Hive. The pillbug moves like the queen bee—one space at a time—but it also has a special ability that itmay use instead of moving. This ability allows the pillbug to move anadjacent unstacked piece (whether friendly or enemy) two spaces: up onto the pillbug itself, then down into another empty space adjacent toitself. Some exceptions for this ability:

• The Pillbug may not move the piece most recently moved by the opponent.
• The Pillbug may not move any piece in a stack of pieces.
• The Pillbug may not move a piece if it splits the hive (violating the One Hive Rule).
• The Pillbug may not move a piece through a too-narrow gap of stacked pieces (violating the Freedom to Move Rule).

Furthermore, any piece moved by the Pillbug may not be moved at all (directly or via the Pillbug action) on the next player's turn. The mosquito can mimic either the movement or specialability of the Pillbug, even when the Pillbug it is touching has beenrendered immobile by another pillbug.
