Apiary: Expanding the Hive ►►► Stonemaier knocked it out of the park this time!

This comes across as paid for, im not picking up an entire expansion for a set of new tiles that could of been in the original game

Is that your reaction to any positive coverage, Negative Nanny? Everything "could have been in the original game" if you want $200 board games instead of $80 games with optional extras.

if this was as sponsored video i would have stated it. and it's more than just a set of new tiles. 7 new unique player boards, 15 new player power cards, 1 new playable faction, over 30 new tiles for objectives/powers/etc., and all of it for under $25. but up to you if you think that's not worth it, or if you think i'm corrupt somehow, i guess you should pass :)

These were developed later, no? Game designers do this for a living (or a side job). They design and iterate just like any other creative design. It’s not once and done for them. Do you make grievance posts for new car models and smart phones too? 😭

If this was paid Rahdo would have mentioned it.

It's likely that they w2ere designed after getting feedback from the players after the game was released. That is kind of how expansions work. They don't know what they need to tweak or add until after the game is in the hands of people. Kind of hard to add those things before the game is released. Now I do agree that there are some companies that make extra content that should have been in the game from the start and try to box it as day 1 expansions. That is a gimmick used by crowdfunding a lot. You can thank Day 1 DLC for video games for popularizing that sort of nonsense.
