About the game
What you do in a play session
Sweetwater Grove is buzzing with activity, and with the arrival of autumn, Queen Bee isn't one to rest! She's assigned new tasks to her colony: harvesting seasonal fruits, decorating the hive with colorful leaves, storing nectar for winter, and even organizing a festival to honor retiring workers. Honey Buzz: Fall Flavors introduces five new modules that you can mix and match to add a special twist to the base game. Want to focus on fruits? The Fall Fruit module lets you gather apples, pears, and pumpkins, sell them, or use them for special orders. Prefer a more aesthetic approach? The Autumn Leaves module adds a decoration element with scoring that varies based on the current foliage card. If preparing for winter is your priority, the Nectar Caps module allows you to protect your nectar for extra points, but at the cost of honey production. And for a touch of farewell, the Harvest Festival module lets you retire your workers with honors. Plus, to keep track of time, a new sunset board marks the game's progression towards its end. Get ready for a harvest season filled with new strategies and challenges!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game Honey Buzz to play with Fall Flavors?
Absolutely! Fall Flavors is an expansion, so you need to own the base game Honey Buzz to use the new modules.
How many players does this expansion support?
Just like the base game, Fall Flavors is for 1 to 4 players. The new mechanics fit well across all player counts.
Does the game complexity increase significantly with this expansion?
The complexity increases slightly, but in a controlled way. Since the modules are independent, you can choose which ones to add, managing the level of novelty and complexity.
How much extra playtime does this expansion add?
It depends on how many modules you decide to use. Each module adds a new layer of decision-making, so it might increase playtime by about 15-30 minutes, especially in the first few plays.
Are the new modules difficult to learn?
Each module is relatively simple to grasp individually. The bigger challenge is integrating the new strategies with the base game mechanics and the other modules you choose.
Is this expansion for those who enjoy economic games or tile-placement games?
It appeals to both! The fruit module focuses more on economy and gathering, while others add new ways to place tiles and manage resources.
