Busy as a bee! Rumble with the bumble….bee!
‘Hive Mind’, the game from Calliope Games is the ‘bees’ knees’. It’s a ‘honey’ of a game.
Played
by three to twelve players, ages eight and up, Hive Mind challenges players to take
on the rolls of worker bees.
Players
must learn to work together to accomplish their goal of winning the game.
No
rogue bees in this game!
Players
must answer questions in harmony basing their answers on their experiences and
opinions.
The
more of the answers jive, the more points the bee teams get.
Gamers
play bee pawns called Beeples. Those bees
that get fewer points get closer to leaving the hive. If one or more bees leave the hive the
remaining bees win and survive the coming winter cold.
It’s
a ‘bee’autiful thing to see as players listen, answer and be like the Queen
Bee.
Game
components include 300 question cards, a game board, a Queen Bee token, 12 Bee
Pawns, 3 hive gates, 12 pencils, 1 notepad, 1 six-sided dice, a two minute timer

Well-designed, expertly executed and just plain fun Hive Mind is a ‘honey’
of a game.
