In Tend, players take on the role of a pioneer working for the Zenith corporation to start a homestead on a new alien world.
Tend is a "flip and write" game where players are each building up their own farm and collecting the greatest selection of goods to send back to Zenith HQ for study. All players will be using the same deck of action cards each round to simultaneously take actions on their own sheets.
As the game progresses new cards will be added to the shared deck, changing what actions are available for the whole table throughout the course of the game.
Players 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!

0:23:15 - What We Don't Like
0:29:21 - Final Thoughts
0:31:22 - Recommendations
5.0 - My absolutely favorite games, I will rarely if ever turn down an opportunity to play these games.
4.5 - Oh my gosh, the absolute best games...but also I'm not always down to play them. For one reason or another these are just shy of perfect. Whether it's mechanics, length, brain burn whatever.
4.0 - This is where a game becomes recommended. Now I may or may not be in the mood, or even own it, especially considering other games. But a 4 is where we cross from good to great.
3.5 - Really enjoyed, don't love it, will often lose out to better games, but there's a part of me that wants to own it/play it more.
3.0 - A good game, I enjoy playing it. But also if I never play it again I'm not losing any sleep over that.
2.5 - Wasn't the biggest fan. Wasn't the worst, but didn't feel like the best use of time. Would prefer not to play again but am willing to given the right circumstances.
2.0 - A game I don't want to play again. I'm not saying it isn't good, I'm saying I don't want to play it again regardless of circumstance.
1.5 - I did not like this game, do not want to play it, and think it's a fairly flawed game.
1.0 - I can't imagine rating a game this poorly ever. It would take something so abysmal I probably didn't get to even play it.
