r/Everdell

My partner just had the most ridiculous start, 9 cards in the city in the first season and still 1 worker left to play

(Sorry for the bad photos)

This was the most ridiculous start to an everdell game we've ever seen.

She started with a worker on 2 berries + a card then it went;

- postal pigeon + courthouse (very lucky)

- cirrus windfall + farm + pebble from courthouse

- McGregors market + pebble, resin + wood from courthouse

- twig barge + pebble from courthouse

- free barge toad

- free judge

- university

- general store

- shopkeeper (This is when above pictures were taken)

- ruins on twig barge

- worker on university to get rid of ruins

- wanderer

- monk + 4 points

Thats FOURTEEN cards played in the first season. By the time she changed season I was already down to my second to last worker in the third season.

Total points at the end of the game was 139.

This is vanilla everdell + collectors edition glimmergold pack

Don't own farshore or silverfrost. Only started playing everdell a few months ago, but I have every little expansion for the base game and love playing everything dell.

Played emerland a few times now. Feels like they took the best part of every expansion into a condensed game.

Love that even with 2 players the spots get taken up quickly. You need to be smart when and where you go. The little helpers are great mechanics.

Love the resource dice. I like the spirecrest style jungle journey.

I love that the cards don't have a ton of copies. So there's only 100 or so cards but feels like there are endless to choose from.

Love harps and emerlands and artisan cards. Really opens up new avenues of strategy.

The whole card upgrading system adds a nice layer of planning. Like do you use a harp and get it fully upgraded instantly? Or play the basic side for a red card, place worker, then upgrade it to get a 2nd trigger on worker? Lots of options.

I find it very hard to fill my city of 12 spaces personally. Opposite of OG everdell I find myself getting to the final season very fast and staying there the longest.

Been a ton of fun so far!

Question about cards that share spaces

Hi everyone, please settle a debate!

My husband and I play two player base game plus New Leaf. In the first photo, I shared how I originally played the Farm and Greenhouse, and Harvester and Gatherer, sharing spaces to get the extra resources. When another Greenhouse came up, I moved my first one and paired it with my initial Farm. Allowed?

Then, I was worried he would put a Fool in my city, so I separated them to fill those spots, then paired them back together (not re-triggering) when I wanted to add more.

My argument: they "may" share a space but they're not required, and once they're in my city I can shuffle them around how I like. I couldn't find anything online about it, so house rules.

His argument (probably because he lost by 4 points lol) is that once you decide if they share a space or not, that's your decision in the game.

What do you think?

The tree - How to keep him safe from damaging?

Hey Everdells,

how do you keep your tree safe from Damage? Using some tape does not really add up ;)

Cheers

Can anyone please help me understand why I can't play the postal pigeon? I've got the post office down and it's showing the linked icon but will not let me play it. TIA

Missing emberland

I got the complete collection delivered today but I had ordered it as an add on to emberlands kickstarter.
Should I be worried? Is it normal they ship separately or should I contact someone

For visiting locations with a Worker…first Worker can go alone. Next Worker needs a Helper to negotiate. Do subsequent Workers need +1 Helpers (2, then 3, and so on) or simply one Helper to negotiate all scenarios? Encountered this situation yesterday, and we couldn’t determine clarification online or in the rulebook. Personal house rule could go either direction.

Either I am missing something, but I can't find defitions of cards. No idea why they didn't add clarifications in the end of the rulebook like they did in previous iterations of Everdell.

Can someone please help us with this card? We don't get what the "Harp from construction" means? The regular version mean you gain the Harp when card is played, and what the upgraded version means?

We thought that could mean to gain Harp for each construction in the city? But I guess that makes it stupidily powerful.

Anyway, thanks for any help
