About this game

From Everfrost to Bellsong, many a peaceful year has passed in Everdell — but the time has come for new territories to be settled and new cities to be established...

Adapted from the award-winning board game from Tabletop Tycoon, Everdell is a fantastical city building game combining worker placement and strategic card play to create a new civilization. Gather resources to build fanciful Constructions and recruit colorful Critters to make your city thrive. Each card in your city scores points, and after four seasons have passed the highest-scoring city wins!

Face off against other founders in cross-platform multiplayer games, or test your civic wits with AI play and Solo Challenges!

On each turn, you'll take one of three actions:

1.) Place a Worker. Send one of your helpful workers out into the valley to gather resources! Berries, Twigs, Resin, Pebbles...and of course Cards! You'll need them all to help your new civilization grow.

2.) Play a Card. Your city can hold up to 15 Construction and Critter cards. Cards generate resources, open up new abilities, and score points to win the game! Discover combos and synergies to race past your opponents.

3.) Prepare for the Next Season. When the seasons change, your workers come home and get ready for the next round. But plan your city carefully! After four seasons, the Winter Moon returns and the game will end.

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? Welcome to Everdell!

Ratings and reviews

This board game is my favorite, so it's nice that it's been formatted as an app! The challenges are fun, and solo mode is solid. I haven't tried anything else yet. I do wish there was a confirmation button before fully taking your action. I've accidentally placed workers in the wrong location, and wanted to undo or fix it, but without a confirmation button it just moves on. Otherwise, 5 stars.

Graphics look really good, which is a plus, but they're so good that my phone overheats. I shouldn't be performance limited on a game that can be played on paper. And as others mentioned, the interface is incredibly unforgiving. Screen real estate is dominated by the beautiful graphics making game text tiny- forcing scrolls and zooms to interact- and the lack of action confirmation makes it very easy to get locked into an accidental mistap.

Great experience. My family and I all love this game! I would recommend an update for playing Miner Mole, Chip Sweep, Doctor, Wood Carver, and Monk. It's a great annoyance when I think I've selected a production to copy or I accidently press on the wrong part of the screen, the game moves on to the next turn without me using the card's power. I think a warning box (like when ending a season) would resolve this issue anytime the game sees a card's power is being skipped. Thank you.
