Everdell Board Game

Build a Flourishing City in the Valley of Everdell!

Welcome to the enchanting world of Everdell, a captivating board game of dynamic tableau building and worker placement, available at Bear Hugs!

Construct buildings, meet lively characters, host events, and gather resources – you have a busy year ahead! It's more than just a game; it's a journey into a charming woodland realm, a test of strategic planning, and a must-have for board game enthusiasts who enjoy engine-building, worker placement, and stunning artwork. This is a great choice for those who want a fun, engaging, and visually beautiful board game with a unique theme.

Gameplay: Build Your City, Season by Season

Everdell combines worker placement with tableau building, creating a unique and engaging gameplay experience. Each player builds their own city, represented by a tableau of up to 15 Construction and Critter cards.

• Worker Placement: Each player has a collection of adorable animal worker pieces (e.g., squirrels, hedgehogs, mice). On your turn, you can place a worker on various locations on the board, on event cards, or on Destination cards to perform actions. These actions might include:
  • Gathering Resources: Collect twigs, resin, pebbles, and berries, which are used to construct buildings and attract critters.
  • Drawing Cards: Expand your hand of potential buildings and critters.
  • Taking Special Actions: Trigger unique abilities or gain advantages.
• Tableau Building: Play Construction and Critter cards from your hand into your city tableau. These cards provide various benefits:
  • Travelers: Often provide immediate, one-time bonuses.
  • Production: Generate resources each season.
  • Destination: Offer unique worker placement spots.
  • Governance: Provide ongoing abilities or rule-bending effects.
  • Prosperity: Award end-game victory points.
  • Card Interactions: The cards interact in numerous ways, creating powerful combinations and strategic opportunities. Building the right combinations is key to a high-scoring city.
• Prepare for the Next Season: The game progresses through four seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn. At the end of each season (except Winter, when you start with some workers), you retrieve your workers and gain new ones, allowing for more actions in subsequent seasons. The game ends after the Autumn season.
• Scoring: The player with the most victory points at the end of the game, earned from cards in their city, events, and other objectives, wins.
