10:34 I believe that the +1 symbol on that farm tile production means to increase the strength of one of your bees by 1. Not gain a bee. I made the exact same mistake over the weekend. 😀

Just checked the rules and with the + sign it's as you say, if there hadn't been the + sign then it would have been as I thought it was. Thanks for telling me, then I'll do it correct the next time and I will add a Klingon subtitle for it.

Overall the iconography is very good, but some of it can be a bit confusing until you run into it. Another icon that messed me up the first time is the color on the symbol for the bee itself. It usually happens on seed cards and it will be either black or gray. The BLACK bee is a worker, the GRAY bee refers to bees on the hibernation comb. There are seed cards that let you move bees in the comb or other effects. @@Game4LifeBG

@@rodneydunn9611 thanks for the heads up, I'm going on a gaming weekend this weekend and I'm sure this one will come to the table, so now I know what to look out for ;)

It's a wonderful game. Even with these minor issues it is remarkable how intuitive the game is even the first time played. @@Game4LifeBG

10:55, you could have gained your 1 level worker without retrieving them by using Empty Hive rule.

[@Game4LifeBG]

That's true, I'm always forgetting I could use that rule.
