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!

Great so far!

The animations are great. Gameplay is great. This is one of my favorite board games and it works really well. Little worker critters are really cute. Music is great. The challenges are a great idea and excellent so far that I have tried. A nice way to give digital only content to keep it fresh for people play the physical board game a lot. Two areas for improvement i would suggest and plead for: 1) The meadow cards are too small for me to see. I’m on the biggest iPad and the zoom options don’t go in tight enough for me to see. Nice to be able to tap on the cards and enlarge, but the meadow just does not zoom in close enough for me. (UPDATE: THIS HAS BEEN FIXED AND IT VERY HELPFUL to have the bigger view! Thank you!) 2) Also need an undo button for mistakes. 2x in my first game, my navigating around the interface to look for things either played a card or placed a worker I did not intend just by moving around. Needs to be an undo button for that.

excellent design and timing of a mediator

This app was given a bit over a month prior to today. With the up and coming release of the Complete Collection a little over a year from now this game is such a joy in giving an opportunity to decide upon a $300 investment with an easy $10 one. I think the game is perfect currently despite its short time on the store-it has no perceived errors however I have not visited online play at this time. I would highly recommend to any adolescent or adult who is looking for a future board game that they can have inherent skill in the knowledge of the game and secure a reliably good time for the people they surround themselves with. This game makes these things possible.

Touch Errors

20 October update: our game lasted maybe three weeks. It’s over and none of us have seen the final result. We were pretty sure we knew the final score but there was no way to confirm as the game simply went away. This was a total fail. Shame on Direwolf. They’ve had plenty of time to fix things.—————-10 October update: still no fixes! In its present state, the game can be unplayable. It is ridiculously easy to move your character and drop it in an unwanted place, losing your turn in the process. THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE EARLY ON. I have sent three feedbacks describing bugs, all of which are still killing this game. Caveat emptor. If I had known it was this bad, I never would have bought it. ————- Touch errors, particularly in placing workers, is a HUGE problem. You can potentially ruin your game as there is no undo nor confirm buttons for placements. In fact, it has happened to me and it’s do so easy to Pisces a worker incorrectly, even when the objective lights up as a “target.” This MUST be fixed. This problem can make the game unplayable.

So frustrating

I love the board game, but the app is too frustrating to play. Even playing on the largest iPad, the screen is cluttered with too much information, the meadow cards are too hard to read without opening them one at a time, you can’t tell which cards are played in your city without opening them one at a time, the animations are distracting, the icons of the other players take up too much screen real estate. There is no back button for if you accidentally hit the wrong button or card, so sometimes you touch something to make it bigger to read it, and then you’re stuck with that as your choice to play. Some of the interface choices don’t make any sense; for example, when you select a worker to place, it becomes un-highlighted instead of highlighted. So confusing. The clunky awkwardness of the entire experience is far more frustrating and enjoyable. Super disappointing, given how much I love the board game experience.

Thank you so much for your feedback! It can be hard to get such a complex game on a smaller screen, but we have passed your feedback onto the team!
