## Description

"STONEMAIER GAMES: APIARY - BASE GAME - In a far-distant future, humans no longer inhabit Earth. The cause of their disappearance (or perhaps their demise) is unknown, but their absence left a void ready to be filled by another sentient species. Over the span of untold generations, one species of the humble honeybee evolved to fill that void. They grew in size and intelligence to become a highly advanced society. They call themselves Mellifera, and they have made substantial technological advances in addition to the technology they adapted from human ruins, up to and including space travel. In Apiary, each player controls 1 of 20 unique factions. Your faction starts the game with a hive, a few resources, and worker bees. A worker-placement, hivebuilding challenge awaits you: explore planets, gather resources, develop technologies, and create carvings to demonstrate your faction’s strengths (measured in victory points) over one year’s Flow. However, the Dearth quickly approaches, and your workers can only take a few actions–with benefits increasing relative to worker strength, culminating in powerful strength-4 bonuses–before they must hibernate! If you enjoy Teotihuacan, Honey Buzz, Tzolk’in, and/or Euphoria, we’re excited for you to play Apiary! Ages 14+, 60-90 min play time, 1-5 Players"

Review: Solid Game really fun SPACE BEES!!! - I play a lot of board games and this one is really fun. The theme is different then the standard resource gathering and who doesn't want to be space bees? If you are looking for something different to mix up your resource gathering library I think this is a great choice. AND SPACE BEES!
Review: Great product - packed well and came on time

## Features

- Hive Building: Apiary involves hive-building challenges where players develop and expand their hives over the course of the game. Hive construction is essential for accumulating victory points and achieving success.
- Unique Factions: Apiary features 20 distinct factions to provide starting bonuses and upgraded bonuses, each with its own set of abilities, resources, and characteristics, increasing replayability and making each game different.
- Beautifully Designed and Illustrated: Designed by Connie Vogelmann (Wyrmspan). Gorgeous space bees and universe illustrated by Kwanchai Moriya (Dinosaur Island).
- Solo Play: Features an Automa to play against in a single player game for a fun solitaire experience. The Automa simulates an opponent for you to compete against, while your game as a player remains the same. On the Automa’s turn, flip a card to see what action it takes.
- Full of Positive Player Interactions: Take actions that benefit you but also benefit other players in the game, leading to peaceful and interesting gameplay for game night.
- High Replayability: There are an array of different starting factions, 45 different seed cards, 15 different planet tiles, and many different combinations of bee dances, all of which create a very replayable game with a lot of variety each playthrough.
- Thematically Designed Mechanisms: Aging bees become more powerful, but when they age past level 4, they go into hibernation. Pollinate planets with your queen ship while exploring.
- For families, solo gamers, and game groups alike: This tile placement and worker placement game for 1-5 players has a 60-90 minute playing time with only a 6 minute setup time. Great game for couples, solo gamers, 2 players, family, and friends.
