EVERDELL: FARSHORE

Set your lantern by the harbor and mind the tide, because Everdell: Farshore trades the cozy woodland for salt air, sturdy ships, and a rougher stretch of country north of Everdell Valley. In this standalone game, you’ll lead a crew of critter workers to build a thriving coastal city, study the winds, sail in search of treasure, and compete for valuable island spaces before the high tide rolls in. It keeps the heart of Everdell’s charming world, but adds a brisk maritime edge with maps, ships, and seaside opportunity.

At the table, Farshore is a worker-placement strategy game for 1 to 4 players, recommended for ages 10+, with play time commonly listed around 40 to 80 minutes or about 60 minutes depending on the source. It’s a fine fit for folks who enjoy building up an engine of critters and constructions, but want a fresh route to victory through seafaring exploration, treasure hunting, and timing your moves against the changing winds. Better still, it stands on its own, so you need no other Everdell box to set sail.
