We were lucky to have two Melbourne Meeples committee members attend Spiel Essen this year, and grab some hot new games to add to the Meeples Library, just in time for MeepleCon!

Our members were surveyed on what boardgames they thought should be added to the library, and we’ve been able to secure some of their most requested games!

• Apiary is a worker placement game for 1-5 players set in a far-distant future where humans no longer inhabit Earth. Over the span of untold generations, one species of the humble honeybee evolved to fill that void. Players explore planets, gather resources, develop technologies, and create carvings to demonstrate your faction’s strengths over one year’s Flow. 7.7 BGG Rating
