What this is
In Everdell, players gather resources to develop a harmonious village of woodland critters and structures. Players send critters and constructions cards to populate Everdell by placing workers to gather resources and then playing cards from their hands to construct an ever-growing tableau of buildings and residents. The game's charming art, intuitive card interactions, and seasonal structure make it both approachable and strategically rich.
