How to play?
Players take turns. On their turn, a player performs the following actions in order.
1. Using Abilities
Before the game starts, you choose 3 random tokens with various abilities that can be used at the beginning of your turn if you have enough flower tokens in reserve. Abilities have different costs and effects, for example, take honey from reserve, return your worker bee to personal reserve, and others.
2. Building the Hive
Select one of the three available stacks of honeycombs, located clockwise from the honey spoon. Move the honey spoon after the chosen stack and take the top tile from that stack. Add the obtained honeycombs to the hive, following the tile placement rules. If you expand the hive, i.e., add honeycombs to the first level of the hive, you receive 2 flower tokens. If you increase the hive in height, adding honeycombs to higher levels, you can earn honey tokens that will give you victory points at the end of the game.
3. Placing or Moving a Bee
After building the hive, place 1 bee on the tile you added, strictly on the cell with honey. You can place a new bee from your reserve or move a previously placed bee. Each bee will earn you victory points at the end of the game depending on which level of the hive it is located. There can only be 1 bee queen in the hive, and she can provide her owner with 4 victory points.
4. Moving a Hornet
Whenever placing honeycombs with the hornet symbol in the hive, as well as when the honey spoon passes by a hornet tile, you must choose one of the hornets and move it to an adjacent cell. If the hornet moves to a cell with a worker bee, that bee is removed from the game.
The game ends when one of the players places their bee queen in the hive. The remaining players make one more move, but they can no longer place their queens. Count the victory points. The winner is the player with the most points.
