Astrobees impresses with the easily accessible concept of worker use. However, every time your worker comes home from an action, she gets stronger and unfortunately also older... until she has to go into deep sleep. A new and exciting interpretation of this popular mechanism. The game has a pleasantly increasing tension curve and offers a crisp playing time even when fully occupied.

You control one of 20 unique factions and start the game with a few things: a beehive, some resources, and worker bees. Interesting decisions await you when deploying your workers. With the actions you explore planets, collect raw materials, and expand your hive with honeycombs, which give you storage spaces, unique abilities and special ratings. However, the shortage is quickly approaching. Your workers can only perform a few actions. Can you make your faction thrive or will it just barely survive?
