Editorial Review

What's the Bzz? Well with Gamewright's Bzz Out card game, there's a whole lotta hive-hoppin' and honey-swappin' goin' on. A deck of whimsical numbered cards (Anthony Lewis's illustrations depict a cartoon swarm engaged in activities beginning with, appropriately enough, the letter B) is used as players take turns deciding if they want to keep the top card from their hive or trade it to the beekeeper on their left, in an effort to have the highest-numbered card (and thereby score a Honey Pot token) after all keepers have played. A Bzz Out card enables you to tell a prospective trader to "Bzz off!" and it scores you a token, too. But don't feed the bears: get caught holding a Honey Bear card at the end of the round, and surrender a token. Designed for three to six players, Bzz Out is a great little game with a nice strategic sting. --Tony Mason

This review is from: Bzz Out (Toy)

Buzz Out is my 3 1/2-year-old granddaughter's favorite. She could play it for hours! Not only has it helped her learn number values, but it's a good tool for learning to be a good sport. (It can be really hard to lose your honey pots when you're three.) She gets so excited that she has to be reminded not to bend the cards, but it's definitely worth it.
