About the Game




The parade is about to begin! I will give lots of shiny points to the critter with the best things that I like the most!

Join Chip, Sweep, and the kids of Everdell to build the most spectacular make-believe city ever!


This easy-to-learn worker-placement and tableau-building board game gets the lil’ ones' brains a buzzin’. Climb across the rope bridge, watch out for the dragon’s den, and join us in the fort for the latest addition to the award-winning Everdell line – perfect for kids and families!

How to Play

Welcome to Everdell takes place over four rounds. We'll take turns sending our Friends around the forest to gather resources like berries, twigs, and resin that we'll use to play cards from our hand.

There are two types of cards – critters and places. In addition to scoring points, each card provides other rewards:

  • Green cards activate once as soon as you play them, and they activate again at the beginning of each new round.
  • Blue cards activate after playing a certain card type or earning a Parade, or let you play a certain card for cheaper.
  • Tan cards activate only one time as soon as you play them. They do not activate again.
  • Red cards activate when you place a Friend on them. Each player may only use their own Red cards that they have played.
  • Purple cards only activate after the game has ended. They give you point tokens for other cards or Parades you may have at the end of the game.

Parades are special point bonuses that you can earn by collecting different sets of cards. Each player can earn each parade once, and they're worth more points the sooner you get them, so go quick! There are four different types of parades:

  • 5 Places
  • 5 Critters
  • At least 1 of each colored symbol
  • 3 cards of the same color (except Green)

After four rounds, the game is over and we add up our points – whoever has built the best make-believe city wins!
