HONK! (2022)

About this game

There’s a goose on the loose! Actually, there’s a LOT of geese and they’re completely out of control - you’ll have to round them up! In this fast & fun family game, 2-5 players will gather food cards, collect chunky cardboard geese, and seek out precious golden eggs. HONK! is a simple game that helps introduces younger players to strategic games. It has low reliance on luck, and is designed to be fun for adults to play too! On their turn, a player can either collect food or feed a goose. Each of the 8 different goose breeds has a specific diet, and so the correct food cards must be used to claim them. Feeding a goose rewards the player with an egg (worth 1 point each), and a bonus egg for each goose of the same breed already in that players' collection. The geese at the bottom of the pile conceal golden eggs, which are worth 1-3 points. The player with the most points wins. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
