What is Propolis

Propolis is a worker-placement, engine-building, area-control, and tableau-building game. Players take on the role of competing medieval bee colonies and take turns deploying worker bees to collect pollen, fortify their positions, and construct their hives to appease their queen and become the most glorious in the land!

As bees compete over the realm's floral landscapes, they will be collecting pollen to create the propolis they need to build their hives. Attaining dominance in different realms provides additional glory and building materials. As hives expand, new structures provide additional resources, new scoring opportunities, and the prerequisites to construct a glorious palace for the queen. The player who dominates the realm and builds the most prestigious home wins.

Review Propolis Molly Johnson | Robert Melvin | Shawn Stankewich 1-4 ⏳ 35 min ⚙️ Mechanics: Resource Management, Worker Placement, Area Control In Propolis, we take on the role of medieval bees competing to build the most prestigious hive. Throughout the game, we will deploy our worker bees to gather pollen and use it to acquire structures that grant permanent resources and new scoring opportunities. ARTS AND COMPONENTS The subtle color transitions on the resource cards and the warm color palette are gorgeous. Of course, the "Beeples" steal the show—bee-shaped meeples that you won't be abl

It's a great gateway. I think this is one of the games that I can use to teach new board games, to new gamers. Also, it's beautiful and have the nicest beeples.
