Festoon

Festoon

2025

2 - 6 players
5 - 15 min

From BoardGameGeek

When bees are creating honeycomb, they connect their legs together to form a chain, called a Festoon. In this game, players compete the be the first to form a festoon. Players take turns placing hexagonal bee tiles adjacent to the other tiles on the table one at a time. The first player who places four bees in a straight line wins. As players create advantageous patterns and block others, Festoon becomes a game of reluctant cooperation. Players must decide whether it is more advantageous to block another player's festoon or set themselves up for victory. The simple rules and strategic gameplay mean that anybody can play it, but victory can only be achieved by the player whose strategy comes out on top. Only a few minutes to set up and explain, Festoon is a great warm up for family game night, or a breather between hours-long games. -description from the publisher
