-It is easiest to surround a Queen that has been immobilized. You can trap the Queen in three ways:
-* using the One Hive rule by placing something in a way that moving the Queen would break the hive
-* Using the Freedom of Movement rule, by placing three or more tiles around the Queen to block exit paths
-* by placing a beetle on top of the Queen - this can also sometimes let you place new pieces directly next to the enemy Queen!
-Avoid playing any of your strongest pieces first, as the first piece is often trapped by the one hive rule for much of the game.
