Humanity has vanished, leaving Earth behind for a new civilisation to claim. Across countless generations, honeybees have evolved into the highly intelligent Mellifera a technologically advanced species capable of exploring the stars. Now their colonies compete to build thriving hives among the planets left open to them.
 
In Apiary, a strategic space colonization board game you control one of 20 unique bee factions, each beginning with its own hive, workers plus a supply of resources. Send your worker bees into the galaxy to explore planets, collect valuable materials, research technologies, expand your hive and then create carvings that showcase your faction’s achievements.
 
The heart of the game lies in clever worker placement. Your bees can take powerful actions across the galaxy, yet every worker has a limited window before the approaching Dearth forces it into hibernation. Decide when to expand, when to gather resources along with when to strengthen your technology all with the aim of making every action count before your workforce needs to rest.
 
As your hive grows, so does your influence. Develop an efficient engine, exploit your faction’s unique strengths, compete for valuable opportunities and then accumulate victory points throughout the year-long Flow. The challenge is not simply to survive the changing seasons, but to establish a colony capable of thriving among the stars.
 
With variable factions, worker placement and space exploration, Apiary offers a rich strategy experience filled with meaningful choices. Guide your bees towards an interstellar future or risk watching your colony struggle through the coming Dearth.
 
Will your faction build the most prosperous hive in the galaxy?
