About this board game

Ambrosia is a strategic board game for 2–4 players that takes about 50 minutes, with each player guiding a bee colony across fields worth different scores.

Players move their normal and special stones around the board, seeking clever placements and combinations that generate points. Every position matters: the right arrangement can improve your score while also obstructing the plans of rival colonies.

There are no dice or other random elements in Ambrosia. Instead, the game focuses on deliberate decisions, tactical positioning, and making the most of the stones available to your colony. The player with the highest score at the end of the game wins.

The modular game board offers variety through two different sides, giving players alternative layouts for their contests. Optional event cards add another way to vary the experience for groups that want them.

  • For 2–4 players
  • Approximately 50 minutes of play time
  • Normal and special stones for tactical placement
  • A modular board with two different sides
  • Optional event cards for additional variety

Released in 2019, Ambrosia rewards thoughtful play rather than chance. Build your score across the available fields, combine your stones effectively, and use positioning to make life difficult for the other bee colonies before the final scoring.
