Hive
Does the One Hive rule apply during a move, or only to the position at the end?
The designer confirmed that crossing a gap breaks the rule, and the rulebook says pieces may never be separated.

During the whole move. A piece may not leave the Hive disconnected at any step, even if it would touch the Hive again at the end, so a move that splits the Hive in the middle is illegal. This applies to Spiders, Ants, Queens, Beetles and pieces moved by a Pillbug. The Grasshopper's jump is the only move that does not travel along the Hive.
