Four interactive tiles placement games in a box

Arthropods is about our six legged back yard friends: play either as an ant or a bee colony. Both variations have two difficulty modes. Families with children (8+) should definitely play the basic game for a maximum of fun, while experienced players are better challenged playing the full game. In all cases should you aim to score the highest amount of points. Game mechanics used to achieve this are:

Tile placement
Area control

Resource gathering
Blocking and/or attacking

Other mechanics used for a ballenced play are:

Drafting
Open market
Hand building

The Ants

Antropolis - basic game playing as ants
Supersize Colony - strategically challenging game playing as bees

Ants are hard workers who build nests and tunnels (hexagon tiles). They also gather food (resource) in the forest, which allows them to perform more actions. Each type of ant (queen, worker, soldier and larva) can perform specific actions and is needed to (f.e.) score points, gather resources, get more ants or defend against other players. Points are scored for completed nests, tunnels and achieving bonuses.

The Bees

Happy Honey Beez - basic game playing as bees
Knights in Buzzing Armor - highly interactive game playing as bees

Bees are buzzy to build hives (hexagon tiles) and collect pollen or honey (resources). They too have different tasks per type (queen, worker, drone and egg) and interact a lot with other colonies. Points are scored by building hives, producing honey and the size of the colony.
