## What is Everdell?

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!

### 5/5 — Best $10 spent

*2026-08-10, version 2.0.3*

Been wanting to purchase everdell. This was an affordable method to see if I would like it. Took me 10 losses to start winning

### 1/5 — Screen is too small & bad controls

*2026-08-03, version 2.0.3*

The fact that you read more than play, and the worker dragging feature that's extremely imprecise annoys me to no end; even with $100 mouse on a Desktop (also assuming I use it as well as a FPS game champion), I could argue that dragging can occasionally be annoyingly imprecise. Don't buy this game unless you play it on a large Notebook screen minimum, with a mouse.

### 3/5 — Idiomas

*2026-07-23*

Por favor, coloquem idioma Português também!

### 1/5 — Stop asking me for a review every time I open the game

*2026-07-08, version 2.0.3*

Please

### 1/5 — Community safety concerns

*2026-07-07, version 2.0.3*

I’ve been on this app since day one.  I’ve seen users be verbally abusive, use hate speech, and threaten the lives of other players and family members, and when I’ve reported it to developers, they’ve simply been directed me to block those users in game. Developers did not take any steps to ban those users after reporting of their conduct in user feedback.  Also leaderboard will reset randomly.  

Also, super annoying that it’ll ask you to rate the game every time you win an online game

### 2/5 — Too many bugs

*2026-07-06, version 2.0.3*

This is mine and my wife’s favorite game. We were so stoked to find out there’s a phone version we can play. But there are far too many bugs to make it worth playing. Not worth the money. Hope the fix the bugs.

### 5/5 — Great game but hair trigger swiping

*2026-06-26, version 2.0.3*

Great game. Important issue with the app: by tapping a card you view it. But even a slightly wrong tap will play that card without being able to undo the move. Every player in our group had multiple misplays — aka accidental moves. Frustrating. GAME MAKER: PLEASE ALLOW FOR UNDO OR CONFIRM FOR CARD SWIPES.

### 5/5 — Love

*2026-05-29, version 2.0.3*

I absolutely love this world. I’d be excited if they brought the expansions along for the ride.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-05-27, version 2.0.3*

Amazing! Fun for long amounts of time

### 3/5 — Nice but ripping people off with the latest expansion

*2026-05-25, version 2.0.3*

A nice game, well-adapted. Unfortunately, they’re ripping people off with the Bellfaire expansion by not letting those who have purchased it share a game with those who haven’t. Even purchase sharing with family members seems to be disabled for this latest expansion. Emailed support but, naturally, never received a reply…

We are happy to push out a new patch for Everdell! While this new build contains many bug fixes, it also has the shiny new Undo functionality!

You asked, and we listened! Undo is now supported in Everdell for actions that haven’t revealed hidden information. To support this feature, you will now be prompted to confirm when you are done with your turn. If you prefer automatic confirmation, you can enable it in Settings under the Gameplay tab but do note it will limit your ability to undo.
