Mike Bruner with Elixir Games here and I am a week into my first Kickstarter campaign. I am the designer of Queen Bee – a new family friendly board game that has been refined by 100+ play tests. It truly is an amazing game that changes the way that you will see player elimination. Not only do you get to beat your opponent – you also get to control your opponent – or at least they work for you. Game play is roughly 15 minutes per player and plays from 2-6 players. It also has 90 amazing miniatures that were designed by Heriberto Martinez (the designer for the pieces for The Grimm Forest)! At only $49 for the Kickstarter edition – you are getting an amazing deal!
About the Game: Queen Bee is a game where you attempt to protect your Queen Bee and kill the other Queen Bee(s). In a 3-6 player game you will want to attack quickly because once you kill the Queen Bee of another colony then their bees become loyal to you. Increase your army, be on the attack, but don’t forget to protect your Queen! The game includes custom cards to manipulate your dice, affect your opponent or increase your power. The game ends when only one Queen Bee remains.
The game involves area-control, combat, hand management and dice manipulation. It also has a progressive-cooperative mechanic as teams are one by one taken over. It rewards teams on the move and attacking by having more “attack” only cards and tie-breakers where the attacking teams win. If you want to have the last Queen Bee remaining then you will want to be on the move early.
Play testers have sensed elements of Chess, Risk and Dice Throne and have compared game play to Nexus Ops. It has gotten great reviews that have been posted to BoardGameGeek’s website at boardgamegeek.com
Come check out this amazing new game. I am sure that you will be glad that you did!
