Product Overview
Bouncy Bees from eeBoo is a shaped board game where 2 to 4 players race to collect matching sets of colors, numbers, or shapes. Players draw cards to move their bees to flowers on the board, and landing on an occupied flower bounces the other bee back to its hive while the bouncer collects an extra card.
