Stonemaier Games: Apiary - Base Game, Strategy Board Games, Hive-Building Game, Hyper Intelligent Bees in Space, Ages 14+, 1-5 Players, 60-90 Min

packed well and came on time

I have about 30 modern board games in my collection and I’ve played many more. Apiary is easily joint top of the played list. An elegant design with beautiful playing pieces and easy to access rules plus a superb reference index.

For a beginner gamer this us difficultly level 7 of 10. For gaming pro, difficulty level 4 out of 10 You have 4 bees, rectangle bodies with numbers on each side. You start as junior bees #1, helping to build a colony, you go and hunt for pollen and fiber, travel in space, do dances... as you level up the bees to #4 you have access to more impressive stuff. The bees get tired, need rest and either go back to junior bees #1, or other options. So building the bees experience, building the colony size, and gathering resources. Length of game once familiar 1hr to 1.5hrs Rule book very good, easier than it looks Good quality and pretty layout Great value for money Good chunky pieces, cardboard tiles, playboards I think it's fun to play but I have about 80 boardgames. Need good gaming table for size. You have main board, each player has a board and the player boards grow but not much. Then each play also has a small bee tracking board for their leveling up and hibernation.

He jugado varios worker placement y este es muy bueno, es suficientemente complejo pero sencillo a la vez. El diseño y calidad de los componentes es precioso.

If you are looking to add a fun and replayable worker placement game to your game library, this is a great choice! It has a lot of different strategies to choose from and forces you to constantly problem solve the efficiency of your choices and adapt to your opponents. The many factions and random elements make the game very replayable. I don't think it's for everyone, so read/watch reviews if you're unsure. The turns near the end of the game can get a little tedious if you are playing with turn perfectionists. I didn't really get the feeling of a bee hive since you just have the 4 worker bees, but that's fine. I think the bee art looks awesome. Worker bumping is fun and increases the interaction between players.
