A charming city-building game where players construct fantastical forests. Collect resources, recruit citizens, and beautify your domain to thrive. Everdell is a board game for 1 to 4 players (or 1 to 6 players with expansions) designed by James Wilson and published by Starling Games in 2018. Moreover, in the game, players take the role of forest animals building a city over four seasons. By collecting resources, recruiting workers, and constructing buildings. The game has been well regarded by reviewers, with its art and components receiving strong praise.
The mechanics will be familiar to players who have played similar games before and are straightforward enough to make the game easy to learn. But Everdell is not a shallow game. The decisions that you make every turn will feed into a game-spanning strategy. With the places that you send your workers and the cards that you play directly impacting the choices that you can make in future turns and rounds.
When you buy Everdell, you’re buying a work of art, not just a game. The forest critters that populate this world are brought to life by Andrew Bosley’s stunning card art. Each component is superbly crafted. Alongside forest animal meeples and shaped resource tokens, you also have a giant cardboard tree. Which stands over your game, giving it a unique character and a fantastic visual appeal.
