About Winnie the Pooh in the Honey Heist, from BoardGameGeek:
Overview: Help Winnie the Pooh and his friends collect honey from the beehives
Players: 1 - 100+
Game Time: 25 minutes
Items needed: 2 six-sided dice
The game is played over 12 rounds, with players playing simultaneously, trying to earn the most points by placing numbers into runs and sets in each beehive. One die will be used for Winnie the Pooh, while the other die will be one of his friends coming to help. All players will use the same dice pool for each roll, however each player determines how to use the dice.
Gameplay: Each Round you will roll 2 dice and then use each die to place a number in any open hexagon in any beehive. One die will be used for Winnie the Pooh, using the number on the die for a hexagon space. The other die will be used for a Friend, which will also place a number in an open hexagon space. The goal is to make number runs and/or sets of the same number in each beehive. The longer the run or the larger the set, the more points you will earn.
Round Summary:
- Roll 2 dice - Roll the 2 dice. Write the numbers in the current round's track. The round tracker is just used as a helpful reference. (Over a game you will mark 24 numbers, filling all the beehives. It will be 2 numbers each round, over the 12 rounds)
- Use one die for Winnie the Pooh
Choose one of the dice for Winnie the Pooh. Write the number on the die in any open hexagon space in any beehive.
- Use one die for a Friend
Use the other die for one of Pooh's friends, using whatever their special ability is. Some friends will give you a choice between two numbers. Some friends will look at Pooh's die and then make another number based off of that number. Write the number in any open hexagon in any beehive. Also, mark an X over the leftmost heart on the friendship track under the friend you chose. Note: You may choose a friend more than three times, there just is not any additional bonus.
- Repeat this until you have completed 12 rounds
Scoring: The goal is to make number runs and/or sets of the same number in each beehive. The longer the run or the larger the set, the more points you will earn. You can use each number you wrote once for a run and once for a set. You can use the number already in the center of each beehive in multiple runs or sets. A run is three or more numbers that are connected and continuously increasing by one. A set is a group of two or more numbers that are connected and all the same number.
End of Game:
Total all your runs, sets, furthest star on the honey/bee track, and also all stars earned from friends. Total these points and the highest score wins.
