Tend: Hive

What is Tend: Hive

The Hive Expansion introduces a new sheet to Tend, allowing players to cultivate the planet's wild Bees, build Apiaries, and produce Honey.

Each round, Bee Dice determine which Bees are available to gather into your Hives. Building up your colonies earns rewards and produces Honey, while a new suite of upgrades enhances the core task actions from Tend, creating new ways to earn resources and bonuses throughout the game.

Hive also introduces Artisan Goods, a new type of good that can be added to your Cargo Manifest or the new Cargo Pod, found on top of your Hive sheet. The new Cargo Pod also has a 3x multiplier on one type of good from the base game.

Players still earn victory points for collecting badges, completing season objectives, being the best neighbor, and filling up their Cargo Manifest with goods to send back to Zenith HQ. In the end, the player with the most victory points wins!
