TEND Is Back — And These Two Expansions Change Everything | Hive & Cellar Preview

Watch “TEND Is Back — And These Two Expansions Change Everything | Hive & Cellar Preview,” a how-to-play guide for Tend: Hive on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by GAMINGTREND Tabletop on YouTube:

TEND is heading back to crowdfunding with two new expansions, Hive and Cellar, and they take the game in two very different directions. Gamefound: https://gamefound.com/en/projects/iv-studio/tend-expansions Correction: 0:09 The crowdfunding campaign for this game is on Gamefound, not Kickstarter. Hive pushes the engine-building side of TEND even further with Apiaries, Bee Dice, new upgrades, Investments, a Cargo Pod, and more ways to create those wild chain-reaction turns. Cellar goes in a completely different direction, turning TEND into a three-game mini-campaign where you refine goods into Artisan Goods, build up Storage, work toward long-term Market Stall scoring, and carry progress from one game into the next. In this preview, I’m giving you a feel for what each expansion adds, how they change the experience of playing TEND, and which one might be the better fit for you. Hive and Cellar are standalone expansions and are not intended to be played together. TEND returns to Gamefound on September 15, 2026. If you’ve played TEND before, which sounds more like your style — Hive’s bigger combos and crazier turns, or Cellar’s long-term campaign planning? #TEND #BoardGames #IVStudio #Gamefound #BoardGamePreview #TabletopGames #BoardGameExpansion #RollAndWrite #CrowdfundingGames #boardgaming Chapters 0:00 Welcome Back to TEND 0:47 Hive & Cellar: Two Expansions, Two Directions 1:04 Hive: Bee Dice & Apiaries 1:50 Honey Production 2:08 Upgrades, Investments & Cargo Pod 2:50 Cellar: A Three-Game Mini-Campaign 3:47 Storage & Carrying Progress Forward 4:10 Market Stall Scoring 4:35 Hive vs Cellar: Which Fits You? 5:33 Why TEND Stands Out 6:02 Hive Is Fun, Cellar Feels Epic Subscribe for more gaming and gaming culture content: 🔴 https://www.youtube.com/@GAMINGTRENDTabletop Need more? 🌐 Head on over to https://gamingtrend.com 📈 Subscribe to our weekly round-up newsletters: https://gamingtrend.com/#/portal/signup/free Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/gamingtrend.com Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/gamingtrend Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GamingTrend/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealgamingtrend/ Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/gamingtrend Discord: https://discord.gg/T8jNjYP

About Tend: Hive, from BoardGameGeek:

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!
