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.

A more complex game than I thought it would be, with a lot going on at once and can be a bit overwhelming without an initial goal. I wish you had more personal goals to aim for or individual strengths for different teams of bees for example.
But otherwise, lookin forward to trying it a few more times and see if I can stick to it more.
The design and artwork are awesome, the bees and the board, just great. The Rulebook is extremely well made and easy to look up rules.
Stonemaier never disappoint.

It’s not about the game itself which is fine but the fact the box had a fair ding in the top front right hand corner when I received it. Interestingly the box it was posted in had no damage whatsoever, so this would imply the damage was done by Aetherworks during the packing process. Disappointed to say the least, I paid for a new game but essentially got a “ding and dent” version instead.
