Review: Apiary is a classic! - 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.

## Features

- Apiary is a beautiful competitve worker placement and engine building game. Set in a distant future featuring spacefaring technologically advanced honeybees. Perfect for players aged 14+, this family game is also great for adults.
- 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!
