Hive Carbon - Woodlouse Extension is a new pair of tiles that can be added to Hive Carbon.
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 it 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 for 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 (violating the one-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.
