The Hive Mind: Board Game Card is a promotional item that adds six new questions to Hive Mind.
Hive Mind: Board Game Card supports 3–12 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Hive Mind: Board Game Card is 30–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Hive Mind: Board Game Card for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Hive Mind: Board Game Card belongs to these categories: Party Game and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Paper-and-Pencil and Cooperative Game. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Hive Mind: Board Game Card are: Richard Garfield. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Hive Mind: Board Game Card as an expansion for Hive Mind. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Hive Mind to use it. Check that your edition of Hive Mind is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
