Description
Tend: Hive throws you into a wacky sci‑fi farm where alien critters buzz, squirm and cooperate on a sprawling grid, and every turn feels like a chaotic dance of paper‑and‑pencil scribbles and simultaneous choices. Up to six players can join the hive mind, each plotting secret actions that resolve all at once, so you’ll be guessing, bluffing and chaining moves together like a giant, buzzing puzzle. The game runs about an hour to an hour‑and‑a‑half, but don’t be fooled—its rules are a bit of a brain‑twist, so the first few rounds are a learning curve before the fun really takes off. Designed by Max Anderson, Zac Dixon, Austin Harrison, and Toby Sarnelle, this expansion builds on the original Tend, adding fresh animal‑themed sci‑fi flavor and new grid‑coverage challenges that keep the farm buzzing with fresh strategies. If you love a bit of complexity wrapped in goofy, interstellar farming chaos, Hive will have you and your crew buzzing for weeks.
