Description

--- The Centipede in Hive executes a unique three-space movement atop the Hive, culminating in a positional swap while preserving Hive integrity. Key mechanics include: - *Three-space movement* The Centipede traverses exactly three spaces on top of the Hive. - *Ending restriction* It must conclude its turn on another piece that is not in a stack. - *Positional swap* The landed-on piece exchanges places with the Centipede's starting position. - *Hive preservation* The one Hive rule is strictly enforced, ensuring the Hive remains unbroken throughout the movement and swap. In the game Hive, the Centipede piece performs a precise maneuver by moving exactly three spaces across the top of the Hive structure and must end its turn positioned on top of another piece that is not part of a stack. Following this placement, the piece it lands on immediately swaps positions with the Centipede's original location. Critically, the foundational one Hive rule must be upheld at all times, preventing any disconnection or breakage of the Hive formation, even during the swapping process. ---
