Description
Bee Lives: We Will Only Know Summer is a game where 1 to 4 players take on the challenge of managing a wild bee hive through a year. As a medium-weight Eurogame, it's all about resource management and strategic worker placement to set your hive up for survival. You'll interact with both your internal hive board and the shared external board, which is built collaboratively with tiles by all players. As you play, you'll swarm to propagate your bees and score victory points, but beware - these new hives will compete with you for resources. With a playtime of 30 to 120 minutes, you'll need to balance your strategy with the time you have, all while navigating the somewhat complicated game rules. Designed by Matt Shoemaker and published in 2019, Bee Lives is a game of economic management and animal instinct, where only the best prepared hive will make it through winter.
