Arthropods: Ants & Bees - Board Game (NL)

Description

Are you a motivated ant or a busy bee? Arthropods is the English term for the family of arthropods that play the leading role in this board game. With the contents of this box you can play no less than four different games. Strategically building your colony using the hexagon-shaped tiles is central to all of them, although each game has its own rules that determine the difficulty of the game.

Happy Honey Beez: This game is the easiest of the four. In Happy Honey Beez, each player starts with a queen and three workers in hand and each turn you connect one to four hexagon tiles to the board. With these tiles you try to build a beehive to score points.

In addition, you put your workers to work to collect pollen on the meadow tiles and then convert it into honey in a honey chamber. You can also score points with honey.

Knights in Buzzing Armor: This game continues where Happy Honey Beez stops. The honey produced by the workers is now also needed to care for an egg and thus expand your bee colony.

Furthermore, there are also drones that defend against hostile bees or can sting as a last resort.

This makes the bees on the board increasingly important for thwarting your opponents or scoring extra points yourself.

Antropolis: This starter variant of the ants is a bit more difficult than the bees. Although a similar game mechanism is used, it is a completely different game. Here too, you win by getting the most points, but this can be done by building both nests and tunnels. There is also a larger variety of hexagon tiles and you can connect or buy more in one turn.

Worker ants collect food on forest tiles for this purpose, but are also needed to maintain constructed tunnels. Of course, the queen is needed to score points through both building tunnels and claiming nests.

Supersize Colony: This is the hardest variant in Arthropods and requires all ants. Unlike bees, you don't have to hatch ants to use them. When you feed a larva, you can immediately exchange it for a soldier or worker.

Just like in Antropolis, the workers are needed to gather food, but they are also essential in caring for your larvae. The soldiers ensure that your workers stay safe, but you also need them to mate.
