Game Description:
“Queen Bee” is a strategic board game where you play as the leader of a hive, trying to collect and manage resources to build and maintain a thriving colony. As the Queen Bee, you’ll need to navigate the challenges of a dynamic environment, making decisions to ensure the survival and prosperity of your hive. Will you emerge victorious, or will your colony succumb to the threats of rival bees, pests, and disease?
How to Play:
- Gather 2-4 players, each playing as a different Queen Bee.
- Each player starts with a starting hive, represented by a game board tile.
- On each player’s turn, they draw a Resource Card, which may provide resources (honey, pollen, or nectar), or actions (move, build, or defend).
- Players can use their resources to perform actions, such as building new hive tiles, recruiting worker bees, or defending against threats.
- The game is divided into rounds, with each round representing a season. Each player takes individual turns, with the goal of collecting and managing resources to build and maintain their hive.
- The game ends when one player’s hive reaches the maximum capacity, or when a player’s hive is destroyed by rival bees, pests, or disease.
