It's really a fantastic game for all the reasons you mentioned.

Wait a minute.. I like bees! I like honey! ...Buuuut sadly I feel this game is a bit light for my collection right now, as i already have enough games taking up the light/medium category. I definitely see the appeal however, especially with those amazing deluxe components - the game is gorgeous! Random note; I just had a thought at the end of the video - Maggie was talking about the AI cards that simply take up tile selection spots on the board - Perhaps adding this to the 2 player mode would give a similar feel to more players? I wouldnt say the dummy bee would completely block the space, but just make it so the next person would need to pay 2 if they visited.. Just a thought. I personally dont mind the dummy mechanic in most games, like Teotihuacan or Glen More 2. Anywho, great review for a game with a lot of buzz!.. sorry.. I'll go now..

Also, just in case I wanted to make sure you're playing the rule whereby the dummy player can never take any tile with an expansion icon in the top right, which makes it slightly less annoying than another person as well. :) Edit: Oh and I forgot to mention, the tile that the dummy takes can always be re-taken by the bonuses which allow you to search the discard and take a tile (there's one on the clan board, and one or two on the better location cards from Chronicle 6 I believe).

Plenty of experienced gamers play this but for myself i'm always trying to get my heavier games to the table. Maggie values the artwork & theme a lot more so I think she would opt to play this often and even plays it solo. Sorry for the mixed answer!!

Also Pax Pamir 2nd Ed. 😊 A lot of people think Grand Austria Hotel is one of the best 2 player big box games. For us we like it OK but would always play Nusfjord first I think. Roads and Boats is great at 2 but has a significant rules overhead and is "fiddly" and pretty unattractive lol.

If I've figured out the ideal number of players for a game I really like and anything other than significantly drops the enjoyment of the game - I'd rather not play that game. I would not want to eat my favourite dessert when I'm full or have it too often because it just won't be as good.

Hi Farkas! I think if you're ok with lower levels of player interaction you will still enjoy the puzzle! Maggie loves it at every player count, including solo, but that's because she doesn't care too much about high or low player interaction and the core puzzle is equally satisfying at all player counts. I prefer it at 4 because it makes the worker placement harder / more tense and everything becomes a bit more of a race. It also leads to more down time though so it really depends on what you value. I hope that helps somewhat!

Timea! Sorry for getting your first name wrong! If you're like Maggie then it sounds like you will enjoy the solo experience and it is light enough of a game to be teachable to your partner as a non / infrequent gamer. Hope you enjoy it and would love to know what you think once you've gotten it to the table ☺💕

@@timeafarkas Most of the playtests during development were 2-player, and I think the game works very well at that player count. The puzzle of the hive building and setting up combos is engaging it all player counts. (I’m biased of course).
