Everdell

In the charming valley of Everdell, beneath the branches of towering trees, among meandering streams and mossy valleys, a civilization of forest critters thrives and grows. From Everfrost to Bellsong, many years have passed, but the time is ripe for new fortresses and new cities. Being the leader of a group of critters whose job it is to build buildings, meet vibrant characters and host events – you've got a busy year ahead of you. Will the sun shine brightest on your city before the winter moon rises?

Everdell is a game of terrain building and worker placement.

On your turn, a player can take one of three actions:

a) Place a worker: Each player has a collection of worker pieces. These are placed on the board locations, events and destination maps. Workers perform various actions to further the development of a player board: collecting resources, drawing cards, and taking 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 cards: Travelers, Production, Destination, Governance and Prosperity. Cards generate resources (twigs, resin, pebbles, and berries), grant abilities, and ultimately score points. The cards' interactions reveal numerous strategies and an almost infinite variety of functioning cities.
c) Prepare for the next season: Employees are returned to the player supply and new employees are added. The game is played from winter until the beginning of the following winter.
The player with the city with the most points wins.
