Detailed Description

Festoon takes its inspiration directly from honeybee behavior. When bees build honeycomb, they link their legs together to form chains called festoons. This natural phenomenon is translated into a simple yet strategic tabletop game.

Players take turns placing hexagonal bee tiles next to other tiles already on the table. The objective is to be the first player to create a straight line of four bees. While the rules are straightforward, the gameplay introduces meaningful decisions as players must choose between advancing their own line or blocking an opponent’s progress.

As the board develops, Festoon becomes a game of reluctant cooperation and competition. Players may find themselves contributing to another player’s potential winning line while positioning their own tiles for future success.

Because Festoon requires only a few minutes to explain and play, it works well as a warm-up game for family game night or as a quick break between longer tabletop sessions.
