Some stats as of December 31, 2023:

I’ve seen people score 150+ points. Is that normal?

It most definitely is not! A great score in Apiary is around 100 points; if you’re scoring significantly higher than that, it’s likely that you may be doing something that is leading to the players taking many more turns than is expected from Apiary’s system of worker aging/hibernation (a normal number of turns per player is around 18). Here are some things to consider:

  • Your workers increase in strength whenever they are bumped or retrieved. If a strength-4 worker is bumped, it immediately hibernates. There is only one ongoing ability in the entire game that can slow this aging process (Arti); beyond that there is no way to continually avoid it (in fact, there are more abilities that accelerate it, as strength-4 workers are the most powerful).
  • When you Research to gain seed cards, you only keep 1 card.
  • The rarely “empty hive rule” only used when you have absolutely no workers anywhere at the beginning of your turn (no workers on the board or on your docking mat).
  • The game can end in one of two ways: When a player places their final (7th) hibernation token OR when the hibernation comb is completely full.
