Beez

Time to take flight as a bee. In Beez you and your rivals fly across a modular hex board to collect nectar for your hive, and the real challenge is in the planning. You plot flight paths, work out what to store and when, and chase a mix of public and private scoring goals that tell you where your hive should go. Other bees are competing for the same flowers, so a good plan can turn bad when somebody else lands first. It is a compact, brain-buzzing puzzle of routes, timing and contracts, for two to four players in around forty-five minutes. Light in theme, tidy in rules, with room to outsmart a neighbor.
