Description

Help grow the hive to your advantage, but watch out for those pesky bears!

2-5 Players | 30 Mins | Ages 8+

Features: Hand Management, Pattern Building, Take That, Tile Placement

Theme: Animals, Card Game, Puzzle

Description:

Come join the Hive! Compete to link honeycomb-shaped cards to the growing hive. The more sides you match, the greater the payoff. Special cards help earn extra plays and deliver stings to your rivals. Just be careful to avoid those pesky honey-grubbin' bears!

—description from the back of the box

Rules:

Play down a card with two sides matching other cards (i.e. blue touching blue and green touching green). Honey sides are wild.

The first player to put all their cards down ends the round and scores 0. Other players score according to cards still in hand. The lowest score after 3 rounds wins.

Honeycomb: Normal cards with varying patterns of colours.

Drone Bee: Has 3 honey sides and 3 coloured sides.

Worker Bees: Make other players draw cards. Draw amount increases with the number of matched sides.

Flowers: Make all other players draw cards according to the number of sides matched.

Bear: One side has to touch honey. No other cards can be played on the bear.
