Tend Review & Gameplay Play-through!
89#LiegeOfGames #boardgames
Tend is the latest from IV Studios.
More in the vibes of a heavier "roll & write" meets euro optimization, we're doing a bit of Animal Crossing style farming, fishing, chopping, mining, crafting, and raising animals to grab combos via simultaneous action selection for 12 rounds to see who can end up with the most points.
I'll briefly (without hopefully screwing too much up) run you through an overview top down of the game and the boards you'll be managing (yes, multiple boards/sheets!). Then we'll run through a couple of rounds to show off how the action selection and potential resource combo'ing works before we get to my final thoughts.
Thanks for watching!
