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.
