## What is Honey Wars?

Every colony has a Queen. Keep yours alive. Topple theirs.

Honey Wars is a turn-based strategy game of bees, blossoms and royal ambition. Lay eggs, harvest flower clusters, claim hives and build comb walls. Then send your swarm to outplay every rival Queen before they reach yours.

PROTECT YOUR QUEEN Your Queen starts alone, and your first eggs are your opening move. Guards shield her, hives defend nearby tiles, and comb slows invaders. If she is captured, the game is over.

TWO ROADS TO VICTORY Hunt down every rival Queen, or raise a Princess on a Royal Cell and guard her for five turns to ascend and win outright. Everyone can see her, so expect the whole map to come for her.

GROW A COLONY • Harvest connected clusters of matching flowers. Bigger clusters pay far more, and Superblooms pay royal jelly. • Claim wild hives, found new ones and ring them with comb to crown them. • Spend pollen in the Royal Chamber on Evolutions: new castes, tougher shells and richer comb.

ELEVEN CASTES, THREE CLANS Workers, Scouts, Guards, Stingers, Pollen Slingers, Nurses, invisible Cuckoos, Juggernauts, and a special bee for each clan: • Golden Hive (Honeybees): sweet harvests and cheap hives. • Hornet Horde (Hornets): fierce raiders that heal and earn as they win. • Bumble Clan (Bumblebees): thick fur and stubborn defense.

PREDICTABLE, FAIR COMBAT Damage numbers show exactly what you deal and what you take back before you commit. No hidden dice. Fill your Frenzy meter in battle and call down a Swarm Strike.

MODES • Daily Battle: one new map a day, the same for everyone. Earn stars and climb the Game Center leaderboard. • Ascent: a ladder of ever-smarter rival queens. • Skirmish: choose your clan, up to three rivals and their play styles: Raider, Builder, Warden, Matriarch or Shadow. • Learn to play: five short lessons with an optional narrator.

MADE FOR PLAYING ANYWHERE • Plays fully offline. No account needed. • Portrait or landscape. • No ads, no tracking, no data collection. • Optional narrator, hints, color-blind-friendly team colors and Reduce Motion support.
