Description
In the charming valley of Everdell, beneath the boughs of towering trees, among meandering streams and moss-covered hollows, a civilisation of forest critters is thriving and expanding. Many years have passed from "Everfrost" to "Bellsong", but the time has come to settle new territories and found new cities. You will lead a group of critters intent on just such a task. There are buildings to construct, lively characters to meet, events to host – you have a busy year ahead of you. Will the sun shine brightest on your city before the winter moon rises?Everdell is a game of dynamic tableau building and worker placement.On their turn, a player can take one of three actions:a) Place a worker: each player has a collection of worker figures. These are placed on locations on the board, on events and on destination cards. Workers take various actions to further develop the player's tableau: gathering resources, drawing cards and taking other special actions.b) Play a card: each player builds and populates a city – a tableau of up to 15 construction and critter cards. There are five types of cards: Travellers, Production, Destination, Governance and Prosperity. Cards generate resources (twigs, resin, pebbles and berries), grant abilities and ultimately score points. The interactions between cards reveal many strategies and an almost endless variety of working cities.c) Prepare for the next season: workers return to the player's supply and new workers are added. The game is played from winter to the start of the next winter, when the player whose city has the most points wins.
