About the game
What you do in a play session
In Waggle Dance, you take on the role of a colony of worker bees, tirelessly working to collect nectar, produce honey, and expand your hive. This dice-based worker placement game combines strategy and luck as you compete against other colonies to be the first to produce seven or more units of honey. Each die represents a bee, and you must carefully decide where to place them: collecting nectar, increasing your bee population, expanding the hive, or gaining favors from the queen. The competitive nature of the game requires forward thinking and adaptability as other players try to maximize their own resources. With simple rules and attractive components, Waggle Dance is accessible to both beginners and experienced players, offering an engaging and thematic experience.
