Description
Propolis is a worker-placement, engine-building, area-control, and tableau-building game for 1-4 players. Players take on the role of competing medieval bee colonies and take turns deploying worker bees to collect pollen, fortify their positions, and construct their hives to appease their queen and become the most glorious in the land!
As bees compete over the realm's floral landscapes, they will be collecting pollen to create the propolis they need to build their hives. Attaining dominance in different realms provides additional glory and building materials. As hives expand, new structures provide additional resources, new scoring opportunities, and the prerequisites to construct a glorious palace for the queen. The player who dominates the realm and builds the most prestigious home wins.
From the team that brought you Calico, Cascadia, and Point Salad, this small box worker placement game is the perfect introduction to new gamers, but has enough strategic depth to be challenging for everyone!

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Construct a queen's palace — Not having a queen's palace card constructed is required; you must have the cost and permanent resources available in your tableau and worker bees available to pay from your personal supply to the Central Supply; pay costs and take the card into your Tableau; the queen's palace grants points at the end of the game and acts as a wild Guild Banner when scoring all other structure cards at the end of the game.
- Construct a structure — Look at the Market and choose a structure to construct; pay the cost with resources on your board or permanent resources from structures; return bees if the cost requires them; take the card into your Tableau and immediately collect bonuses; if the card has a permanent resource you’ll have it available for future purchases.
- Deploy worker bees — Choose an empty landscape card in any row and place a bee there; gain resources or rewards based on the symbols; move the resource tracker up; collect a bee from the General Supply; place it in your pool for future turns. If you place on the last empty card in a row, you receive a wild resource.
- Fortify worker bees — Choose any of your two standing bees on landscape cards and tilt them so they lie flat; gain rewards for each bee fortified; you may not fortify an already fortified row; if you fortify a row with no remaining empty landscape cards you gain a wild resource.
- Retreat worker bees — Remove any number of your worker bees on landscape cards back to your personal supply with no restrictions on which ones or how many you retreat.
- worker placement — Choose an empty landscape card in any row and place a bee there; gain resources or rewards based on the symbols; move the resource tracker up; collect a bee from the General Supply; place it in your pool for future turns. If you place on the last empty card in a row, you receive a wild resource.

- This is a two-player head-to-head game set in the world of Gatsby, kind of. And you are, it's kind of a tug-of-war over three different areas. It's very abstract.
- Moonrise part is the sideboard with tiles that fill up and then they go to one of the players for victory points and then there's just more buildings.
- I recommend it for anybody who plays the game a lot. Though, again, the game is sort of the kind of game you buy at Target.
- This is a neat worker placement game played over two parts of the board on the moon and on the planet. You're trying to blast an asteroid coming.
- the cursing was a little over the top and unnecessary. It didn't really bring anything to the table.
- Star Trek Captain's Chair. Wow, what a game. Nine out of 10. This game takes Imperium, a deck building game, adds a Star Trek theme to it, and does a really good job in that regard.
- Very mass market kind of racing game. You're playing out cards whether you're moving your own ships or your opponent's ships.
- I came in at a six on this game. Ultimately, I did enjoy this as a trivia game. It's a marriage of trivia and blackjack, right?
