Apiary

End of Game and Scoring

menu

Apiary ends when all sectors in the Hibernation Comb for the player count are filled with hibernation tokens or when a single player places their 6th hibernation token. Each player takes 1 additional turn (including the player who triggered the end of the game). Then, proceed to scoring.

Your final score combines victory points () already tallied during the game along with those from endgame scoring opportunities (tally in order from top to bottom).

DURING THE GAME, TALLY THE VICTORY POINTS GAINED FROM:

● Explore token bonuses

● Farm income

● Hibernation Comb pod bonuses

● Build bonuses on hive mat hexes

● Placing a strength-4 worker on the Advance action

● Strength-4 planet bonuses on the Explore action

● Activating tile abilities

● One-time benefits on played seed cards

AT THE END OF THE GAME, ADD ANY VICTORY POINTS GAINED FROM:

● Meeting the conditions on any seed cards you planted

● Any farms (1 victory point each), recruits (variable victory points), and developments (variable victory points) you built

● Meeting the conditions on any carvings you built

● Your position on the Queen’s Favor track

● Filling your hive mat (8 victory points) and frames (8 victory points)

● Your faction’s endgame ability

● Winning Hibernation Comb sector majorities (see below)

HIBERNATION COMB SECTOR MAJORITY: Each sector provides victory points for the players with the most (and sometimes second-most) hibernation tokens. If multiple players are tied for 1st place, they share all victory points for that sector (rounded down), and no player receives victory points for being 2nd place in that sector (e.g 9 total victory points divided between 2 players results in 4 victory points for each player and no victory points for 2nd place). If multiple players are tied for 2nd place, they share the 2nd-place victory points for that sector (rounded down).

The player with the most victory points wins! In the case of a tie, the tied player with more active workers (on the board or your docking mat) wins. If still tied, the victory is shared, with both factions reigning together… for now.
