Waggle Dance

Bees, nectar and honey

 

Colorful meadows, bees - no, this is not Biene Maja, but Waggle Dance! You are an overseer bee in the hive and want to produce as much honey as possible for winter. Action cards and nectar cubes are placed according to the template in the rules and each player begins with three empty combs and six dice of a color. The game is divided into day phases and night phases that alternate and begins with a day phase.

In a day phase you roll dice and then in turn place one worker bee = die on one of the action cards or on a comb tile. When all dice have been placed, you turn over the indicator to the night phase and each player implements the action cards in alphabetical order from A to G: Actions of the night phase are:

A - Take a comb tile; each player takes one comb tile for each worker bee and adds it to his comb instantly. B - Hatching, for each pair of bees on an egg tile you receive a new worker bee. C - Receive an egg; for each worker bee you get an egg marker. D - Receive nectar; nectar cubes are handed out according to majorities on the flowers and are instantly placed on comb tiles without egg marker. E - Trading; swap nectar or egg markers.  F - Make honey; shift nectar, according to used pairs of worker bees. G move the Queen bee, she gives you special actions. Whoever has collected the necessary number of honey combs, wins.

Premium honey! Excellent quality. Worker placement where it makes sense and fits the topic, implemented harmoniously and instantly understandable and offering excellent rules for immediate access. Absolutely recommendable! And on top of all this it is fun!
