{"product_id":"everdell-3rd-edition","title":"Everdell 3rd Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGuide a bustling society of charming woodland critters through four distinct seasons to construct the most magnificent city in the forest in a gorgeously immersive, medium-weight strategy game that masterfully fuses worker placement with a multi-layered card engine.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverdell (3rd Edition) (designed by James A. Wilson and published by Starling Games \/ Tabletop Tycoon) stands as a definitive, beautifully streamlined production of the critically acclaimed modern classic. Moving away from highly aggressive territory combat or dry economic industrial themes, this title focuses entirely on spatial efficiency, hand management, and satisfying tableau optimization. The core objective is an evocative, year-long city-building journey: players deploy their limited worker meeples across a dynamic forest floor to harvest resources—like sticky resin, smooth twigs, shiny pebbles, and sweet berries—and spend them to play a unique combination of Critter and Construction cards into a 15-space personal city grid before the bitter frost of winter returns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary strategic hurdle lies in managing your tight card economy while navigating the interlocking synergy paths between constructions and critters. Every card you place into your city triggers unique mechanical traits, categorized into immediate production boosts, ongoing passive abilities, open worker action nodes, and endgame scoring multipliers. Crucially, the game features a brilliant \"free-play\" chain system: if you have already constructed a specific building in your city (such as a School), you can instantly play its matching inhabitant (the Teacher) directly from your hand or the shared central pool for zero resource cost. True tactical mastery requires balancing your worker placements on the shared board with the card choices available in the Meadow, adapting to the restrictive hand limit of 8 cards, and claiming competitive public Event monuments before your rivals across a deeply rewarding and highly engaging 40-to-80 minute session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGame Specs at a Glance:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAge Range: 13+ Years\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Starling Games \/ Tabletop Tycoon\u003cbr\u003ePlay Time: 40-80 Minutes (~20 minutes per player)\u003cbr\u003ePlayer Count: 1-4 Players\u003cbr\u003eComplexity: Medium (Worker Placement, Tableau and City Building, Hand Management, Open Deck Drafting, Set Collection)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in the Box?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Forest Meadow Board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Cardboard 3D Ever Tree Structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e128 Critter and Construction Strategy Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 Wooden Worker Meeples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30+ Squishy, Textured Orange Plastic Berry Tokens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30+ Amber Plastic Resin Crystals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30+ Wooden Twigs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20+ Grey Plastic Pebbles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 Cardboard Special Event and Basic Event Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30+ Punch-Out Cardboard Point Tokens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20+ Occupied \"Free Use' Wooden Sign Tokens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Polyhedral 8-Sided Die (Dedicated for Solo Play functionality)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Strategic Rulebook Booklet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gnome Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52645776392479,"sku":"ASM STG 2668EN","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/9080\/5791\/files\/everdell-3rd-edition-board-game-box-display.jpg?v=1782757821","url":"https:\/\/gnomegames.com\/products\/everdell-3rd-edition","provider":"Gnome Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
