PROPOLIS
A buzz of medieval strategy and magic
Imagine a world where bees don't just make honey, they also build cathedrals, fortified walls, and glittering palaces. You command a colony of winged builders, ready to transform pollen into architecture and nectar into political power.
It's a territory control and resource management board game that transforms a beehive into a medieval kingdom, perfect for those who love watching their empire grow turn after turn. Behind the dreamy, pastel aesthetic typical of Flatout Games' masterpieces lies a fierce battle for control of the most prestigious districts.
The real difference lies in how bees are placed: they don't just occupy a space, but influence the entire economy of the surrounding area. Each move is two-fold, providing you with immediate resources and positioning you for the majority count that will only occur at the end, creating a constant tension between immediate gain and future victory.
It's the game for those who loved the beauty of Cascadia but are looking for more direct interaction and more heartfelt competition for common spaces.

THE ART OF THE ROYAL HONEYCOMB
Every bee has its place in the castle
In the heart of the hive, there's no room for indecision. Placing your workers requires impeccable vision, as each sector of the board offers different benefits and requires specific requirements to control.
The risk is real: investing too many bees in a contested area could leave you exposed elsewhere, while ignoring a seemingly poor area could give your opponents easy points. It's a delicate balance between aggressive expansion and defensive consolidation.
The final satisfaction, when you look at the completed map and count your domains, repays all the mental effort put into the game.
