Honeypot

About this board game

Honeypot is a quick, simple card game for 1–6 players that takes about 30 minutes to play. In this interactive set-collection game, secret agent bears gather valuable intel and spy supplies while trying not to get stung.

Each round, players arrange secret caches for their opponents, then carefully sift through the cache passed to them. The central question is how far to dig: has an opponent offered the sweetest honey, or hidden a swarm of bees? Players must judge both the cards in front of them and the traps their rivals may have prepared.

Honeypot uses an I Stack, You Choose format, turning every round into a puzzle of tempting combinations and risky decisions. Arrange cards to encourage opponents to take groupings that harm them, while working out how they have organized the cards meant for you.

• Players: 1–6
• Play time: approximately 30 minutes
• Core mechanisms: set collection, card arrangement, and choosing from secret caches

Your growing tableau changes the puzzle as the game progresses. Collecting certain items may help your score, while others can detract from it depending on what else you have gathered. With a massive deck of cards, each round presents a fresh combination of items to assess.

Featuring delightful artwork by Kwanchai Moriya, Honeypot brings moments of victory and betrayal to a quick game that is easy to teach and suited to sharing with friends and family. It comes from the team behind the Calico, Cascadia, and Point Salad series.
