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.
Draw and Play Tiles
At the start of each turn, draw two tiles: place one on your own plant and the other on a neighbor’s. Strategically arrange stems and leaves to grow beans on your plant while sabotaging your neighbor’s efforts with inefficient layouts.
Gain a Bean
Once your plant has the right structure to support a bean, you may freely claim one from the market. Each bean tile is worth 1–3 points and features unique connection points, making every choice an opportunity to maximize your score.
Prune Your Plant
At the beginning of each turn, each player may make one cut between any two connected tiles. Any tiles disconnected from the root system are sent to the compost bin, rewarding the player with growth tokens.
Unlock Special Actions
Spend your hard-earned growth tokens to shake up the game! Refresh the bean market, reclaim plant tiles from the compost bin, or stack beans together to create larger bunches and grow your score.
Grow your garden, outsmart your neighbors, and harvest the points to win!
