Review: Great, Zen Game for 2-4 Players - My wife loves this game and we crack it out occasionally to relax after a stressful day. The game is easy to play, seems very well balanced (our final scores are usually within 10 points of each other), the art is wonderful, and it's quick. Pros: - Great worker placement/engine builder that is easy to teach - Wonderful art and theming - truly delightful, even for a cynic like me. - Quick to play and easy to teach* (more on that in a second) - most of our games take 30-40 minutes. - Card-based nature gives it a bit of (shared) randomness and replayability. - Simple, elegant design, not a lot of bloated rules or unneded complexity. Cons: - I've heard this is true of many Starling Games, but the manual is not well written and poorly laid out. My wife is a rulebook fan, but we both needed to watch a round or two being played online to understand it. There's also some imprecise wording on some of the cards that are open to interpretation. Nothing a good copy edit and wording changes in a second edition wouldn't fix, but it can make the first game or two a little frustrating. - Full sized cards (preferably with sleeves), the big standing tree, and large play area mean you'll need a lot of table space for this. I wish the cards were a smidge smaller to reduce its footprint. Review: Tremendous Fun with a Gorgeous Theme and Presentation - Everdell is a fantastic game that synthesizes the best game mechanics of a number of its peers. It blends the resource gathering / worker placement component of games like Agricola or Lords of Waterdeep, with the card draw / card synergy of Dominion, with the city building / planning of 7 Wonders. Considering I absolutely adore all of those games, Everdell immediately shot into the Top 3 Games in my collection. The card draw / card management aspect is the most unique and fun part of the game. Cards act as "quests" or "contracts," but also can be used as part of resource management, and you'll also need to have a keen eye for planning ahead to give yourself "bonus" actions / rewards. You start with a set of cards in your hand, and you'll send out your workers to gather resources to put those cards into your city, but there's also a community "pool" of face-up cards that can be bought by any player. The icing on the cake for all of this is that the theme, presentation, and artwork are a pure delight. There's just a magical "something" about the way the art captures the small details of the imagined premise of play that draws you in. It's a bit pricy, but when you see the quality of construction and the art, combined with the engrossing gameplay, it's worth every penny and more. If you have any interest at all in Euro-style board gaming, Everdell deserves---no, practically demands---space on your shelf. ## Features - From Everfrost to Bellsong, many a peaceful year have passed in Everdell - but the time has come for new territories to be settled and new cities to be established - There are buildings to construct, lively characters to meet, events to host- you will have a busy year ahead of you Will the sun shine brightest on your city before the winter moon rises - Everdell is a streamlined worker placement game that features a detailed world realised through stunning artwork - Utilising a tableau-building mechanic, players will work to build a city of critters and constructions - Everdell is easy to learn, yet offers satisfying strategic depth and endless replayability ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0792JY6G4 | | Additional Features | Board Game | | Age Range Description | Teen, Adult | | Are Batteries Required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #71,863 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #71 in PC-compatible Games #1,635 in Board Games (Toys & Games) | | Brand Name | Starling Games | | CPSIA Cautionary Statement | Choking Hazard - Small Parts | | Color | Mixed Colours | | Customer Package Type | Reinforced Box with Protective Inserts | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,593 Reviews | | Edition | 2nd Edition | | Educational Objective | Develop critical thinking, problem-solving, planning, and creative skills through strategic gameplay and city building. | | Estimated Playing Time | 40 Minutes | | Genre | Strategy | | Included Components | 128 x Critter & Construction Cards, 16 x Event Mini-Cards, 11 x Forest Mini-Cards, 30 x Berries, 30 x Twigs, 25 x Resin, 20 x Pebbles, 30 x Point Tokens, 20 x Occupied Tokens, 24 x Wooden Tokens, 1 x 8-Sided Die, 1 x Game Board, 1 x Ever Tree, 1 x Starter Event Tile | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 11.81 x 11.81 x 0.1 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W | 11.81"L x 11.81"W | | Item Type Name | Everdell | | Item Weight | 1.5 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Starling Games | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 1332.0 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 156.0 | | Manufacturer Part Number | HPGGSUH2600 | | Material Type | Plastic | | Minimum Age Recomendation | 13 | | Model Number | HPGGSUH2600 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Players | 1 to 4 players | | Operation Mode | manual | | Power Source | manual | | Rulebook Availability | Printed Included | | Set Name | Everdell | | Size | Board Game | | Subject Character | critter | | Theme | Architecture, Building | | UPC | 810082831054 013964757521 013964757538 610585962367 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Images ![Everdell Old Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71trYqXnSGL.jpg) ![Everdell Old Edition - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Q6LxBUVBL.jpg) ![Everdell Old Edition - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61a6WgxwA5L.jpg) ![Everdell Old Edition - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715xLUGwYaL.jpg) ![Everdell Old Edition - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81f3ZbtCUiL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this game similar to Photosynthesis?** A: Not really. The only thing they have in common is the 3D tree(s). Both are great games, but photosynthesis is more of a low chance, mensa select game where the smartest/most experienced player is going to win just about every time. Everdell is a thematic card based game with worker placement elements - probably more similar to something like 7 Wonders. Definitely still a lot of strategy, but a lot of luck involved with how the cards come out. **Q: We love Everdell - what other games are most like Everdell that we might enjoy?** A: Everdell is a Tableau builder, worker placement with a fantastic theme. Short answer is Wingspan is all of the above as well. It is also one of the top games of the last few years. Some good worker placement games with a good theme are raiders of the north sea, Lords of waterdeep, and Stone age. Some good Tableau builders with a good theme are Splendor, Machi Koro, and Century Spice Road. **Q: My daughter is 9 and we play DnD, would this game be appropriate (based on complexity) for her age?** A: I also have a daughter of 9 and she plays Gloomhaven with me... she loves this game! Should be perfect! Of course, there are some things that need to be explained, but very accessible for that age. **Q: This is second print?** A: Yes it’s a second printing ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, Zen Game for 2-4 Players *by C***K on February 14, 2020* My wife loves this game and we crack it out occasionally to relax after a stressful day.

I have played a good amount of Euro-games and currently own Viticulture, World's Fair, Imperial Settlers and now Everdell. Everdell is a slightly more advanced version of Viticulture. There are slightly more options for your meeples and the cards you get, whether Locations or Critters, always have some kind of ability that will help you now or later in the game. The artwork is simply stunning, some of the best, truly top-notch. It really immerses you and makes you excited to read the small quote or details that come with the critter or location. The pace moves quickly and crazy enough my 8 year old and 11 year old not only wanted to play but were able to strategize and play along in a game I was extremely certain was far above their ability (The publisher recommends 14+). That not only didn't stop my youngest players but it even captivated them for the 3 hours it took to complete the 4 player game. I have only played this once, right out of the box and its an instant hit in our boardgaming families library. We talked about the game well after we finished and my wife and I are attempting to play again this evening in a 2 player game. If you are looking for something slightly more advanced than Viticulture, this is your game. If you have never played a Euro game, this is your game. If you love animals, this is your game. I don't know many people who wouldn't thoroughly enjoy this game. Well done, Startling Games. This is one of your first games I have ever played and if any of the other games that are soon to come out are anything as good as this, then we have ourselves a new head honcho publisher that has entered the market. Which really excites me! ## Frequently Bought Together - Everdell Standard Edition - Ticket to Ride Board Game - A Cross-Country Train Adventure for Friends and Family!
