Everdell Standard Edition by Starling Games - 1-4 Player Game Where You Build a Woodland City Full of Adorable Critters

Takes a game or two to learn but once you do it's really fun. Artwork is cute and well made. Good family game.

So great!! I purchased for my boyfriend to add to his collection. I'm hooked!! It's so interactive and the artwork is beautiful!I love that there are multiple layers to the game and missions/ goals to focus on, there isn't just one way to score points which makes it exciting at every turn, no pun intended.

I purchased this game on sale because I had seen it at target a number of times and thought the box art looked pretty cool. Turns out the game is a wholesome outdoor adventure game, where you and your friends have to prepare for the winter season. It is a great experience for anyone who is into engine building games. The first play through will take some time learn the gameplay and get used to the turns and how to prioritize cards however, overtime it becomes a very fun opportunity to create cool combinations of abilities and creatures. I love that Everdell incorporates a lot of physical elements, such as the pieces for food, the big tree and the event tiles. The only downside is that the tree is hard to disassemble, but my wife and I usually leave it up as decoration until we play. The price point feels somewhat accurate given the quality of the game pieces and the amount of items. However, it frequently goes on sale so if you keep your eye out, you should be able to get a good deal overall a very enjoyable game for two or more!

We've played Everdell a half dozen times so far and I'm very glad we got it. It's a very fun game with lots of stratgies to score points, but is also easy to learn or teach others. The gameplay is not like any other game we have and the layers of strategy remain interesting from game to game because the board itself is randomized in some respects each game. The design of the game visually is excellent. There are two improvements the game would benefit from. Trays to store the various game pieces would be excellent, and a more robust material for the Evertree. The default tree is made of cardboard and is a little tricky to assemble. Each time we do, the edges of the cardboard are damaged a little more. I'm not sure how long it will last, but it won't be as long as our desire to play the game.

"Our family loves it! It's a great game, though it might be a bit challenging for younger kids. Overall, it's a fun game that will keep you busy. The price could be better, as it feels a little expensive for a game, but aside from that, it’s a great choice for family fun."

Overall fun and a good length game. It’s slightly more complex than I anticipated but don’t let that stop you. After a couple games it all comes together! Replay value is terrific!

This is an excellent board game, but don’t rely on the instructions alone to teach you how to play! Watch a ‘how to play’ on YouTube or watch people play first or something because it can be a tad confusing.But that difficult startup is the only reason I took a star off. Otherwise, it truly is brilliant. And pretty!

I wish I could add photos to the review but I will tell you why I cannot.I bought this for my husband for Christmas, who at the time was not a board game player.He loved this game so much right off that the bat that he bough the ENTIRE collectors edition and took this one back to Australia to share with his sister.He is now absolutely addicted to board games and has purchased no less than 40 more games in the single year since he got this game.This game sparked my husbands love for board games, and for that it will always be my favorite board game of all time. Absolutely recommend it, but DO look into the entire collection first, you could end up saving HUNDREDS if you end up loving it as much as he did.
