Sweetwater Grove is abuzz! All the woodland creatures have honey on their lips and in their minds. Thanks to your hard - working efforts as an accountant, the Queen's honey stand is up and running. But now, fall has come, and winter is just around the corner! Her Majesty has assigned new tasks to her workers: harvest and sell fall - season fruits, adorn the hive with vibrant autumn leaves, cap and store nectar for the cold winter, and send retiring workers to be celebrated at the harvest festival before the sun sets on Sweetwater Grove. So, start the waggle dance; it's time to do business!
'Honey Buzz Fall Flavors' is an expansion for the 'Honey Buzz' board game. This expansion brings in five new modules that can be combined freely to level up the gameplay:
- Fall Fruit: Explore a brand - new flower field to gather fruits like apples, pears, and pumpkins. You can sell them at the market or use them to fulfill special orders for honey - dipped fruit.
- Autumn Leaves: Pick up colorful leaves on new leafy hive tiles to beautify your hive. Earn points according to the foliage card in the current game.
- Nectar Caps: Get ready for winter by capping your nectar cells. These caps are worth points and might win you a trophy, but be aware, they slow down your economy as capped nectar tiles can't produce honey.
- Harvest Festival: Retire your workers and send them to the harvest festival. When each worker retires, decide if they'll propose a toast or work one last time.
- Sweetwater Sunset: Use the new sunset board to keep track of the game's end. When the sun sets on Sweetwater Grove, winter arrives, and the game is over.

Using this 'Honey Buzz Fall Flavors' expansion is easy. First, set up the game by laying out all the included boards like the Sunset Board, Woodland Board, and Festival Board. Place the tokens and cards where they belong according to the rulebook.
During the game, when it's time to use the Fall Fruit module, send your workers to the new flower field to collect fruits. You can then choose to sell them at the market or use them for special orders. For the Autumn Leaves module, collect leaves from the leafy hive tiles to decorate your hive and score points based on the foliage card. When it comes to the Nectar Caps module, cap your nectar cells for points and a chance at a trophy, but remember it'll slow down your honey - production. In the Harvest Festival module, retire your workers and decide their last action. And use the Sweetwater Sunset board to know when the game is about to end.
Some things to keep in mind. Read the rulebook carefully before starting the game to understand all the rules. When handling the cards and tokens, do it gently to avoid damage. After each game, put all the pieces back in their proper place to keep them organized. If you're not playing for a while, store the game in a cool, dry place to prevent any warping or damage to the boards and cards.
