Hey folks! Ready to make your garden even more vibrant? Petrichor: Honeybee arrives to supercharge the base game with an extra dose of sweetness and strategy. This expansion introduces a super special new resource: honey! Imagine, besides tending to your plants, you'll now have to pollinate them to collect this liquid gold. And that's not all, there's a new action available and a modular board that makes everything more dynamic each game. Oh, and there's a giant bee that will be the talk of the town, flying around and helping you reach unexpected corners of the garden. The objective is clear: collect more honey than your opponents and use this new bee to surprise them. It works great for 1 to 4 players, with full support for solo gamers.

It's the perfect expansion for those who want more depth and new ways to interact with the world of Petrichor, adding a strategic and thematic touch that will leave everyone craving more!
