Apiary - Expanding The Hive

Apiary: Expanding the Hive is a "more stuff" expansion, with more of what fans love about Apiary. It adds to the variety of the core game with components all designed to fit inside the original insert.

The expansion also replaces the original frame mats with new variable frames, along with some revised versions of a few tiles and complete appendix encompassing the core game and the expansion.

Base Game Not Included:

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 one of twenty unique factions. Your faction starts the game with a hive, a few resources, and worker bees. A worker-placement, hive-building 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 take only a few actions before they must hibernate! Can you thrive or merely survive?
