## Description
Hey folks! If you're already into the vibe of Petrichor: Honeybee, get ready for a little something extra that adds a special touch to the game: the "The Swarming" promo card. This little gem was given out as a freebie during the Pocket Dragon Kickstarter campaign and, as the name suggests, requires the Honeybee expansion to join the fun. Essentially, it acts as an extra action that can shake things up. Anyone can trigger "The Swarming" by discarding any card, whether it's their first or second action of the turn, or even after passing. The cool part is that when it's activated, all players (including the one who initiated it) can choose to gain 1 honey. And here's where it gets interesting: for each player who took honey, the player who triggered the action can place one drop directly onto the tile where the Bee is currently located. After all this buzz, the "The Swarming" action card is removed from play, as it can only be triggered once per game. It's a small component, but it brings an interesting dynamic of voting and hand management, while also influencing area majority by strategically adding rain drops. Perfect for those who want to add a little spice to their Petrichor games and explore new player interactions, especially if you're already a fan of the bees and the game's environmental theme. It also came in the 2021 "Collector's Pack," so you might already have it without realizing!
