A friendly board game night without the setup
This is the tabletop game in digital form, with rules handled for you and turns that move quickly. On your turn you do one thing: place a worker in the valley, play a card into your city, or prepare for the next season and bring your workers home.
Your city holds up to 15 construction and critter cards, and each one scores points after four seasons. You gather berries, twigs, resin, pebbles and cards, then spend them to recruit characters, raise buildings, and host events. Cards generate resources, open abilities, and link together, so a crane or innkeeper in the meadow can change what you can afford. You watch the shared cards and the single-worker spots, because a co-op friend who takes the card you needed is still your friend, technically.
Seasons, scoring, and outsmarting each other
Everyone moves through the same year at their own pace. You can change seasons whenever you choose, which returns your workers and adds more for the next round, while other founders may still be finishing the last one.
That timing matters. Wait to squeeze every resource from a season, or switch early to reach fresh worker spots and meadow cards first. Since each card in your city scores, you are always weighing a cheap critter now against saving for a construction that pairs with what you already built. Matches end when the winter moon returns after four seasons, and the highest-scoring city wins. Cross-platform multiplayer lets you face other founders, and solo challenges and AI play give you a way to practice civic wits alone.
Good to know before you settle Everdell?
Can you play it with co-op friends?
Yes. You can face off against other founders in cross-platform multiplayer games, which suits private matches with friends. Random online matchmaking is quiet, so bring at least one friend rather than counting on finding strangers.
Can you play it solo?
Yes. There is AI play and Solo Challenges, including Rugwort's Trials, plus a welcome mode that eases new founders in at a faster pace. Solo games against bots run much shorter than a physical table session, which makes them useful for learning card combos.
How complex is a turn?
Simple on the surface. Each turn you take exactly one of three actions: place a worker, play a card, or prepare for the next season. The depth comes from limited city space, blocked destinations, shared meadow cards, and deciding when to change seasons.
