Honeypot is a quick and simple I Stack, You Choose game for 1-6 players with delightful artwork by Kwanchai Moriya! In Honeypot, players take on the role of secret agent bears trying to gather the best intel and spy supplies without getting stung! Players arrange secret caches for their opponents and carefully sift through the secret caches passed to them. The question is: how far to dig for valuable intel and spy supplies? Have your opponents passed you the sweetest honey, or a swarm of bees? In this thrilling game of setting traps and trying to avoid them, only the agent with the best instincts will capture the best set of items to come out on top! Honeypot is a set collection game featuring a massive deck of cards so each round the combination of items is a new puzzle. Your goal is to arrange cards into groupings that will encourage your opponents to take the combinations that harm them, while also trying to determine how they have arranged the cards for you. It's a delightfully interactive puzzle that evolves as the game progresses and your tableau of cards grows - try to collect the best intel and supplies, but beware, you may end up with items that detract from your score based on the other items you have collected. From the team that brought you the Calico, Cascadia, and Point Salad series, this quick and simple card game has all of the stand-up moments of victory and betrayal while still being easy to teach and perfect to share with your friends and family! -description from the designer
