Honeywall

In Honey Wall, you try to score points by surrounding the bee larvae with honey. By rolling the dice, you can draw larvae or honey on your game board. If you roll a wasp, you may steal your opponent’s larvae that are not surrounded by honey and score points at the end of the game. Large groups of larvae score more points, but are vulnerable to opponent wasps. The player who manages to score the most points with the larvae at the end wins the game!

Each player gets their own leaf with a game board. On this game board, players start drawing their own area with larvae and honey. A turn consists of 4 phases: a dice phase, a honey and larvae phase, a wasp phase and a flower phase. When it is a player’s turn, they roll 2 or 3 dice in the first phase (depending on which have been unlocked by the player). The dice may re-roll one or more dice once before moving on to the next phase. The second phase is the honey and larvae phase. In this, all dice with a honey or larva symbol on them are dealt. The active player colors squares whenever possible on the game board to fill them with honey and larvae.

After this phase comes the wasp phase. In the wasp phase, the player can try to steal larvae from other players’ bees. The moment a larva is not yet fully encircled by honey, it is vulnerable to wasps and can be stolen by other players. A player who rolls a wasp with one or more dice may place a wasp symbol on other players’ game boards to show that this larva has been stolen. At the end of the game, stolen larvae score points for the player who stole them.

In the last phase, the flower phase, the active player checks to see if he has marked off a flower on the game board. If so, then this player may step up on the tree at the bottom of the game board to unlock bonuses. After this phase, it is the next player’s turn and the game continues until a final condition of the game is achieved. This is at the time when a player has two areas of seven or more enclosed larvae each or when a player has five areas of less than seven enclosed larvae each. The game then ends immediately and the player who managed to collect the most points with (stolen) larvae wins the game!
