Why you'll like it

How it plays

Everdell is a game about building a city of woodland critters. Players place workers to gather resources like twigs, resin, pebbles and berries, then play cards to build constructions and recruit critters into their city.

Many cards work together: a construction can let you play a matching critter for free. The game is played over four seasons, and your city can hold up to 15 cards. The tall Ever Tree and charming art make it a showpiece game.
