About the Game

From the whimsical world of Humbug Tales: Keeper of the Swarm...

Pollen Pastures is turn-based strategy in the vein of classic board games like Catan and Agricola.

Featuring: hand-illustrated art, millions of possible boards, and online multiplayer for 1-6 players.

Following rumors of a land overflowing with nectar, a pair of humanoid humbugs find themselves in the domain of competitive bees and hostile wasps.

Taking refuge in a tree hollow, they encounter a new queen bee. Together they aim to build the strongest colony and collect the precious nectar, but the competition will be fierce!

  • Choose from 3 real bee species and 6 humbug characters, each with unique strengths and abilities.

  • Challenge players in dice-based competition to pollinate the land collecting resources and insect livestock.

  • Build hive chambers to house more bugs, gain bonuses, and improve your stats.

  • Acquire victory points by completing quests, growing your colony, or amassing resources—but be prepared to defend your spoils from other players and wasps!
