Deep in the woods of Everdell, beneath the branches of the great Evertree, small forest creatures are building a thriving civilization. In Everdell: Essentials Edition , you lead your own group of forest creatures and try to build the most beautiful and successful town in the forest over the course of four seasons.
Everdell is a strategic board game centered around worker placement, board building, and resource management. During the game, you send your creatures out to gather twigs, resin, pebbles, and berries, draw cards, and visit special locations. Using these resources, you build a town of up to 15 buildings and forest creatures, with cards reinforcing each other and forming increasingly powerful combinations. Each turn, you choose whether to place a worker, play a card, or prepare for the next season. After each season, your animals return so you can deploy them again and embark on new adventures in the next season.
The game consists of over 150 cards, only a few of which are placed on the table per session. This means you’ll have different card combinations every time you play. The game ends when a full cycle of seasons has been played. The player with the most points wins the game.
Can you build your town in Everdell through the seasons and become the most beautiful in the forest?
