Hive: The Pillbug is a new pair of tiles that can be added to Hive. The Woodlouse moves like the Queen Bee - one square at a time - but it also has a special ability that it can use instead of moving. This ability allows him to move an adjacent unstacked piece (whether friendly or enemy) two squares: up onto the woodlouse itself, then down into another empty square adjacent to it.
Some exceptions to this ability: The Woodlouse cannot move the piece most recently moved by the opponent. The Woodlouse cannot move a piece in a stack of pieces. The Woodlouse cannot move a piece if it splits the hive (thus violating the single hive rule). The Woodlouse cannot move a piece through a space that is too narrow between stacked pieces (violating the freedom of movement rule).
Any piece moved by the Woodlouse cannot be moved at all (directly or via the Woodlouse action) on the next player's turn. The mosquito can imitate the movement or special ability of the Woodlouse, even if the Woodlouse it touches has been rendered immobile by another Woodlouse. A Woodlouse under a Beetle (or a Mosquito acting as a Beetle) cannot be used, as can any piece trapped under a stack.
