Description Description
Richard Garfield introduces Hive Mind, a buzzworthy new party game about being alike! Up in the hive, the bees are trying to prove to the Queen Bee that they deserve to stay! During the game, the players must be harmonious in answering intriguing questions based on their experience and opinions. The more answers they have in common with other players, the more points they get! Represented by bee pawns called Beeples, players move through the hive; those who score the fewest points each round must move closer to the hive exit. As soon as one or more bees exit the hive, the game ends. All the remaining bees win and survive the winter!

Very scalable. I particularly like the concept of more winners than losers, and essentially infinite questions.

This is my favorite social game, very underrated. I do miss the old edition with the bee theming though.

This is the only game I own that works for literally any group of people. For groups with less patience for games, just don't put the yellow blocking tiles on, and the game will be shorter.

Excellent party game. Suits a super high player count (which doesn't really impact on time to play very much); some simple mechanism(s) beyond just the core question asking add to the fun, it's apparent that lots of thought has been given to the questions, but it'd also be easy to add your own personalised ones. Highly recommended for all ages.

We first played this one via Zoom during self-isolation and with modified rules (we go around the "table" once and just tally points at the end to get a winner), and it has been a lot of fun and sparked some fun discussions. I picked it up to play with a large group of non-gamers, and when we play it in person we play it the same way without the board. I'm just worried about this one overstaying its welcome if played with the regular rules.
