Everdell (Basic Game)

In the charming valley of Everdell, under the branches of towering trees, among meandering streams and mossy hollows, a civilization of woodland critters blooms and grows. Many years have passed from Everfrost to Bellsong, but the time has come to settle new territories and establish new cities. You will lead a group of critters focused on such a task. There are buildings to build, lively characters to meet, and events to organize - 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 table-building and worker placement.

During his turn, a player can take one of the following three actions:

(a) Place a worker: Each player has a collection of worker pieces. These are posted at sign locations and events and on Zoning maps. Workers perform various actions to further the development of a player's tableau: collect resources, draw cards, and take 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 maps: Travelers, Production, Destination, Governance, and Prosperity. Cards generate resources (twigs, resin, pebbles, and berries), grant skills, and ultimately score points. The interactions of the maps reveal countless strategies and an almost infinite variety of working cities.

c) Prepare for the next season: workers are returned to the player supply and new workers are added. The game is played from winter until the beginning of the next winter, after which the player with the city with the most points wins.
