The Bears and the Bees
Players build a shared honeycomb by playing hexagonal cards that must match colors on two adjacent sides; honey sides act as wilds. Each card shows colored edges and special effects: some force opponents to draw more cards, some grant extra plays, and one-sided bear tiles block further plays and must touch honey to be played. Rounds end when a player empties their hand; that player scores zero while others score penalty points for cards left. Play repeats for three rounds, and the lowest total score wins.
