Apiary includes a double-sided board (1-3 players and 4-5) players, with the side for lower player counts featuring:
(1) Fewer planets to explore (and thus fewer available explore tokens)
(2) Fewer hibernation comb spots (2P has 8, 3P has 12, and 4-5P has 15)
(3) Fewer worker placement spots (so bumping is very relevant across all player counts!); and
(4) Fewer end-game carvings
For solo play, there is a special solo mode to simulate the experience of playing against an easy-to-operate "intelligent" opponent.
