If you’re looking for the remedy to a cold, rainy day, Everdell, a workerplacement game set in a medieval fantasy world of forest animals, somehow manages to replicate the feeling of being tucked under a thick comfy blanket with a nice hot drink.
It is an incredibly feel-good game about preparing for winter and building up your town, nestled in the roots of the Ever Tree. Players send their workers – hedgehogs, bunnies, squirrels and turtles – around the board to collect resources. These will be used to build up each player’s town by adding construction and critter cards to their own play space.
