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!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Everdell at 4.8 against Doodle Kingdom™ HD's 4.0. Everdell also leads on ratings volume (2.9K vs 24) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). Doodle Kingdom™ HD's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $9.99). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Doodle Kingdom™ HD costs $1.99 and Everdell $9.99 up front. Doodle Kingdom™ HD sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Everdell sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Everdell holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Everdell has 2.9K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Doodle Kingdom™ HD's written reviews are positive against 76% of Everdell's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Doodle Kingdom™ HD ships an update every 4 months, Everdell every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
