As a bear, try to collect as much honey as possible, but hurry up - as soon as the bees notice the loss, you have to run home with what you have managed to collect.

On your turn, take the top card from any pile lying on the hive card. Check it secretly and take one of the following actions:

 Put the card to your can. Choose any card from your can discard it. Place the acquired card instead of the discarded one.
 Play an action card. Apply the effect of the action card, then discard it.
 Discard the taken card. If you don't want to put a card to the can or play an action card, just put the card you took in the discard pile.

You then end your turn and pass it to the next player clockwise.

During the game, you cannot look at the cards in the cans, pass them to each other or exchange them. This can only be done through the effects of some action cards.

Action cards and their effects

 Binoculars allow you to check any two cards in cans.
 Magic mirror copies the value of the adjacent card.
 Exchange allows to swap a card from your can and someone else.
 The Umbrella will protect the card in your can.
 An Interesting Find will allow you to swap a card from any can with the top discard card.
 The Dance of the bees will make everyone exchange a pair of cards!

End of the game When any player takes the last card from the pile on any hive card, players continue to take turns until they reach the first player. After that, the game ends - all players turn over the cards in their cans and start counting points. The player with the most points wins!

A more interactive game mode is also available for advanced players.
