About the game
Honeypot is a card game from AEG, designed by Joseph Z. Chen (2026). It plays 1–6 players in 15–30 minutes, for ages 10+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 7.1 out of 10 and call it medium-light (1.6 / 5 weight).
What makes Honeypot stand out from other card games is the unique “I stack, you choose” mechanism, where players try to outwit one another. Stacking the cards is strategic and fun, revealing the stacks is strategic and fun, and it’s always exciting to experience the rivalries and table talk between players.
In Honeypot, players take on the role of secret agent bears trying to gather the best intel and spy supplies without getting stung! Players arrange secret caches for their opponents and carefully sift through the secret caches passed to them. The question is: how far to dig for valuable intel and spy supplies? Have your opponents passed you the sweetest honey or a useless disguise? It’s a delightfully interactive puzzle that evolves as the game progresses and your tableau of cards grows - try to collect the best intel and supplies, but beware, you may end up with bad intel or even worse - a swarm of angry bees!
