It's time for another review of a board game, and this time, it's all about bees...and space!!!
Today, we are taking a look at Apiary, the newest game from @jameystegmaier.
It is designed by Connie Vogelmann and has art by Kwanchai Moriya
Apiary is a worker (bee) placement game where you are trying to expand your colony, gather resources and score victory points.

Thanks for taking the time to check out Apiary and share your thoughts with the community! I followed along with your Essen adventures, so I'm glad you are covering this one!
We are doing our best to cover as much as possible :) Glad you enjoyed this one! 😁
I'm really liking Apiary so far. I played it solo four times last month and had my first multiplayer session (4 players) this past weekend. Everyone enjoyed it. I like how the asymmetric faction tiles and hive mats can provide guidance - especially to new players - but don't necessarily restrict your options either. It is fun finding the combos too! Also, it was nice to finally try the other side of the board with the 4-player session.
Glad to hear you are enjoying it! Enjoying board games is fun 🤩
I loved the ramblings today - many lol moments 😂 I really enjoyed my first play of Apiary and I’m hoping to get it to the table again soon 👍
Haha, thank you! That means a lot 🤩 Also glad to hear you are enjoying the game 🥳
I was also underwhelmed the first couple times I played this! I'm so glad I gave it a few more tries, because the strategies really opened up for me. It went from a 6/10 to a 8/10 for me. Really enjoy this one!
Lots of love. 15.5 spiced honey points for each of you. I agree, i really was surprised how different and fun this game is.
Woop! Thank you 🤩
Here's a merch idea for you:you sell a game called Board Game Ramblings, but inside, there is no rulebook (and more importantly) no game, just a print out of Johanne's face and a speech bubble: "This is NOT a game!"
Great video! We had the exact same path with it, it feels better each play.
Glad to hear you are enjoying it 🤩
Love this game ! Smooth and fast !
I agree! A lot of fun! Glad you are enjoying it :D
Bees ( _apis melifera_ ) 'cluster' over winter, each wiggling their way to the warm middle, then being pushed to the cooler outside; & repeat. So they don't 'hibernate' as such.
But these are advanced Space Bees.
"That's why I didn't laugh" made me laugh 🤣
It has a really big buzz since its announcement. So great to hear your opinion. Explanation of things doing things was amazing 😆 When I first heard about this theme: Bees in space and took a glance on the cover - first thought was omg who came up with that idea it sounds like someone asked Ai to create new theme - that strange - definitely thinking out of the box for the theme and attention grabbing. So is it A game or B rated? 😉
Love the bee jokes, they made me happy! Things are the best 🤩
Worst thing about the rulebook is that it looks dirty.
Really like the game - it plays fast, is easy to learn and for me it is fun to do "broken" stuff.
Haha, I hadn’t thought of that, but it does make sense 😂
Glad you are enjoying the game! Many cool combos to go for :)
Where did the Broken Meeple's tirade about the game being broken go? I was going to show it to a friend and we would have laughed at it together. Guess he deleted it😂
Looks like he did! 😅

So, Sunniva, do bees hibernate?
I’m unsure if she remember to check 😂
Bees do not hibernate like mammals, but their behavioural patterns change in the winter months in order to protect from the cold. I forget the details but I rememeber this came up when I visited a bee farm.
But these are space bees, so I guess you can make them do whatever you want them to do.
@@BoardGamingRamblings Individual bees have short lifespans (e.g. measured in weeks), so in early versions of the game they died. But it was a little morbid, and futuristic space bees may have scientifically improved their individual longevity, so in the final game, they hibernate. Real world bees function like a macro-organism - so an analogy would be a hive is like your body, and the bees are like cells. I'm not an expert, but I was also informed that the bees that maintain the hive through the winter actually have different physiologies than the spring/summer bees.
Love your excellent review! And love this wonderful game. The challenge is knowing you never win with Plan "A" but always succeed with Plan "B" 😊
