I didn’t know I wanted to find a channel with SOLO boardgame playthroughs until I accidentally got your video in recommendations 😅 Such a heaven for an introverted me 😁 I love your vibe too - you look like such a wonderful person to hang out with!
Yesssss I am majorly introverted so solo gaming is a haven for me! Gets me out of my head and focusing on something that feels productive instead 😊 and awww thank you that's super sweet! I hope you find some games that look interesting to you! 🥰
Had this game since it first came out and bought it because it it be played solo.....haven't played it yet ! Have over 400 board games and not sure which to play next....due to not boring physically well space is a problem. Been playing R&W small games. Must think positive. Enjoyed your video. Thanks. 🙂
Thanks for the video! I'd highly recommend customizing Honey Buzz solo with randomized challenges and restrictions, even adding a second set of dummy drones that don't block but require you to place more bees. Also, I tend to make achievement sheets for added replayability. This is one of my favorite solo worker placement games 😁
@@paulsalomon27 I'm sorry, I don't have one yet for Honey Buzz. I was just referring to a general thing I've done for other games when I want to add replayability.
I totally agree with your thoughts about the solo experience of Honey buzz! It’s just ok solo, and many reviewers saying that it’s better at 3-4 players. It was one of the first games I bought, and now after I’ve played a variety of games with solo mode, I never really want to play Honey buzz again, sadly.
Yes it's very much an ok experience for me exactly like you say. Definitely one that I don't find myself coming back to again and again. It is lovely though and I think is a pretty great game to introduce the hobby to people with 🥰
Thank you for giving such a great in depth review of this! Your reasons for not getting it to the table as often really appealed to me as a beginner to the hobby and helped me to make the decision to purchase! I will definitely come back to this video to get a feel for the rule again soon! :)
yea this fits into my lightish weight game if i wanna get something done in an hour its also becoming one of the games i bring out to teach my family when they ion mood for a game and i dont want to play something mass market great review Stay Hexy!
I’m pretty deep into the hobby as you put it but more and more I prefer elegance and ease of play above complicated games; those had their fame. I like to have a lot of agency, limited, tiered randomness and more persistence over plays.
@@bluedogboardgames I guess mentally demanding work has its side effects. Even so, I'm currently enamored with The Isofarian Guard, it just arrived yesterday evening ♥
It's definitely one of the lighter ones from the games I normally showcase on the channel. I would say it's light-medium for most people but would personally describe it as light for those that are used to euro games with more depth like Feast for Odin and the like.

All really good suggestions thank you! Maybe that would increase my interest in it and get it played a bit more. It's not one I often bring out
Would love to see your achievement sheet!

Thank you so much! I really hope you enjoy the game! And thank you also for the kind comments 😊
Thanks for playing! Really enjoyed the video and found it very relaxing.
Thank you for watching! 🥰 I'm glad, as the game itself is also pretty relaxing! 😊🐝
Nice playthrough :)
Didn't you end the game 1 round earlier though? I think the trigger is 4/5 resources at the bottom, no?
Yep, you're completely right! Done myself out of a turn or maybe more haha!!

great review Stay Hexy!
Definitely fits into that category for me too! Such a looker too so definitely one that could get more people interested in the hobby!
@@bluedogboardgames i feel the same way about calico... uploaded the video about an hour ago

I think I like a mix of both, I do love a multi layered strategy game but have definitely found a more recent affection towards lighter games 😊

Would you consider this a light game?

The "honey" is cool but I dont like them since they can't slide.
