Product Information

Everdell is now a very vast game, there are so many big box expansions, and the collectors box that holds all the content is the size of a small car. But this one Newleaf is my favourite expansion, I might even go so far to say that it could be considered the essential expansion if there can be said to be one. Basic Gameplay

As long as the golden occupation condition is met on EITHER the Construction OR the Critter, the Critter can be played using a golden occupation token." Everdell is a beautifully illustrated worker placement game. Your workers are woodland animals (initially in the base game until non woodland critters such as axolotls started to appear). You will be placing workers to gain resources that will allow you to play cards from your hand. Each card is worth end game points, but more importantly each will have a one time or ongoing ability that will aid you in your strategy as the game progresses.Kaufman, Rachel (December 11, 2018). "The 10 Best Games of 2018". Smithsonian . Retrieved January 18, 2019. Critters and Constructions on the Station can be played to your city just like cards in the Meadow. However, beside each Station card is a corresponding train car tile. When you play a card from the Station, you also gain the benefit on the train car tile, usually resources, but sometimes points! Then the tile is discarded and a new one is drawn from a bag. Everdell was nominated for a Golden Geek award for Best Artwork and Presentation. [8] Expansions [ edit ]

EVERDELL New Expansions And Complete Collection Includes Spiders With Top Hats!". GeekTyrant . Retrieved 2022-11-21.Over four seasons, players place their forest animal meeples to get resources to buy cards into a personal tableau, which give points towards winning the game or special abilities to help them build further. [2] The game starts simply, with the complexity increasing as a player's cards gain synergies from newly acquired cards. [3] In addition to the points they get from acquiring cards, players score by triggering events, from special events, from collecting certain combinations of card types, and from end game bonuses given by cards for acquiring certain other cards in their city. [4] [5] Reception [ edit ] Components of the game A follow-up to the game called Everdell Farshore has been announced and is expected to release in August 2023. [1] Gameplay [ edit ] The Station space that allows you to discard Meadow/Station cards, refresh, and draw is a great way to cycle through the cards that are available and get a resource from the train car that you really need. I really like the addition of the visitor cards as a way to score points at the end of the game. It’s a nice way of spreading out the points for meeting other conditions besides just the basic or special event cards. There are broadly speak two “flavours” of cards. These are the construction cards and the critter cards. Construction cards are generally more expensive, and cost resin, pebbles and/or wood to build. The critter cards will always cost berries. Generally you will find these a little easier to come across than perhaps pebbles, but I will say that scarcity of resources is a constant feeling when playing Everdell! These could be things like an ongoing discount of a berry when playing critter cards, or perhaps gaining two twigs each time you activate the green cards in your city.
