Stonemaier Games: Apiary - A Strategy Board Game by Connie Vogelmann

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!

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.

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.

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.

Great worker placement game, fun art. Do not buy here, it shipped in a paper bag and box was damaged upon arrival. They wanted me to mail it back and not return it locally. Az, Epic fail. Game, epic fun!

This a good solid game. Get the expansion to make even better. My wife and I have played several times and its okay. Buy it you want be disappointed.

juego muy coapdo

Stonemaier excells in engine-building games, and this is no exception. Lots of tension as each ployer tries to decide whether to retire their bees quickly to end the game faster or keep recycing them to build up their hive. Fresh concepts. Bees ruling the world - how can that be bad?

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.

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.
