The detail is fantastic for the scale and went together really well. The Queen figure, once constructed, seems a little small in comparison to Ripley in the power suit but then again, the figure is slightly crouched over.
This is an interesting euro with lots of ways to score. It has many mechanics: tableau builder, tile exploration, worker management, resource management and some small card play. Notably, the crux mechanism in which the bees gain strength and eventually hibernate is niche and keeps you thinking. There are quite a few starting factions to choose from as well as tiles to keep the game fresh. We will get lots of mileage from this game.
Such a great little game. Easily taught my parents (who love rummy). Quick to set up. Easy to play. Nice amount of strategy. Even the box is great!
Image quality is just ok. Also a bit too large for what is needed.
