Hive: The Pillbug

Adds a pillbug tile to the set that can either move itself one adjacent space or use a special two-step ability to lift an adjacent unstacked bug onto the pillbug and then place it down on another empty space next to the pillbug. The pillbug cannot move a piece that was just moved by the opponent, cannot move pieces in stacks, cannot split the hive, and cannot move pieces through gaps that violate the Freedom to Move rule. Any piece physically moved by the pillbug is rendered immobile on the next turn and cannot move, be moved, or use its special ability. The Mosquito may copy the pillbug’s movement or ability when appropriate, and a pillbug trapped under a stack cannot act.
