Matagot Apiary

Can you thrive or simply survive?

In the distant future, humans no longer inhabit the Earth. The cause of their disappearance, or perhaps their demise, is unknown, but their absence has left a void ready to be filled by another sentient species.

Over countless generations, a humble species of bee has evolved to fill this void. They have grown in size and intelligence to become a highly advanced society. They call themselves Mellifera and have made substantial technological advances beyond the technology they have 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, some resources, and worker bees.

A challenge of worker placement and hive building awaits you: explore planets, collect resources, develop technologies, and create sculptures to demonstrate your faction's strengths, measured in victory points, over the course of a flux year.

However, dearth is fast approaching, and your workers can only take a few actions before they're forced into hibernation!.
