Hivemind

Welcome to the world of Hivemind! You and your partner are the Queen Bee’s Royal Advisors. As such, it is your job to direct the work of the hive: gather nectar and honey to keep everyone fed, assemble an army of drone bees to keep the hive protected, and collect wax to build new structures that allow your hive to work even more efficiently.  It is your responsibility to overcome all challenges and safeguard your colony from collapse. Bees can work alone, but they can do much more as a Hivemind.

Hivemind is a cooperative engine builder. Every turn, each player decides their actions at the same time as the other player. Discussion between players is recommended!

Each player starts the game with 3 unique abilities, which they can place in whichever region of the hive they choose to focus on each turn. Together, you will decide how and when to complete each mission by using your unique abilities and by building permanent structures in the hive.

As the game progresses, the missions will get harder and harder, but completing missions is the only way to win. If you delay too long, the health of the hive will degrade, and the colony will collapse. With some teamwork and smart moves, you can save the hive!
