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.

We got this game about 2 months ago and have been loving it. It is made by the same people who made wingspan. It has lots of parts and functions you can do each turn like wing span, but I would saw it is easier to learn. It is a great 2 player game --that is how we play it most of the time, but we have also had fun playing with 5 players. 2 player games go faster--45min and 5 player games are about 1.5 hours for us. The fun thing is that after playing it more then 10 times I still feel like there are strategies I still have to discover and learn.
