Guide the growth of your beanstalk while diverting the plants of your neighbors. Tile placement is crucial as you must balance maintaining control over your plant's direction with ensuring you have the right structure to support optimal bean growth. The light engine-building tile game Vine leverages simple yet strategic gameplay, challenging players to develop the highest-yielding garden of pole beans. Prune your plant to create more options later in the season, close off sections to prevent unwanted growth, and let your vines climb high to maximize points by the end of the game. -description from the publisher
