Welcome to Everdell Board Game

About this product

Big adventures can begin with a very little city.

An easy-to-learn 2–4 player Everdell strategy game created as a welcoming introduction to worker placement and tableau building.

Gather resources, place your Friends, build a pretend city and complete Parades across four playful rounds.

Product Description

Welcome to a brighter, younger corner of Everdell, where the kids are pretending to be grown-ups and building the best make-believe city they can.

Welcome to Everdell introduces the world of Everdell through streamlined worker placement and card play designed to be approachable for younger players and families. Each player has three Friends to send to locations around the board, gathering Berries, Twigs, Resin and other rewards that can be used to play Critter and Place cards beside their Home.

The game unfolds over four rounds. At the start of each round, Resource Dice help determine what can be gathered from special locations. Players then take turns placing Friends and may play a card after each placement, steadily growing their own collection of Critters and Places.

Complete Parades by meeting different card goals, collect points along the way and see who has created the most successful pretend city when the final round ends.
