In this week's Games Made Easy video you will learn how to play Everdell better, quickly and easily too.
Please support my channel and join my Patreon.
Everdell is such a cute game you could almost, but not quite, forget it’s hyper competitive.
In the charming valley of Everdell you develop a full-fledged city attracting all sorts of forest critters. You make them thrive and expand over the course of 4 seasons.
What I love about it is how many paths to victory there are and yet in general you end up within a few points of each other.
It’s a really fun game and it’s great for beginners and advanced players too.
Buy Everdell on Amazon: amzn.to/3vK1cxs
Tabletop games are really fun, but learning the complicated directions and rules can be a challenge. Lavinia and Peter explain the rules quickly and easily so you get to play faster while giving you all the tips you need to get better.

Video correction: In the video I make a mistake of putting the discard pile face up, this should be face down.

I think this is the best, most enjoyable, and easy to watch Everdell explanation I have seen on KZfaq!

This was fantastic. Love the format of explanation, far better than others. Only thing I would love to see at the end is an example round, showing each player taking a turn (or two!). I think that would fully solidify everything explained. Still, this was great!

Thank you so much for your comment and for the suggestion. I have tried playing turns on other games, it's something I haven't quite cracked with the structure and time; but I agree, for some games it would be valuable to run through a few rounds. Enjoy the game :) I just got the big box, so I'm excited to play the expansions!

Just finally got Everdell for Christmas. Watched some videos and tried playing, but it’s so haaaard! Thank you for the video…it’s the first explanation I’ve seen about good use of the cards. I’ll try again!

Thank you so much for your comment. I felt the cards were fundamental to explaining the game; definitely have another go because it's an awesome game.

Thank you for the quick and thorough tutorial. I stared playing Everdell about a month ago, and this video showed me at least a couple things that I hadn't noticed: the card count displayed on each critter/construction card, and that the Wanderer doesn't take up a city space.

Great video, thanks! FYI the discard pile is face up in your video but is supposed to be face down so players do not use it to learn what cards have been depleted from the deck. EDIT: Also, I subscribed based on the quality of this video! Thanks again!

Great video! Your explanations are very clear & concise. I just picked this up yesterday and going to play with the family tonight. I noticed you sleeved the cards, are you using clear or matte ones? I can’t decide which to use. Cheers

@GamesMadeEasy 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much! I didn't know there was a choice. Mine are clear. I usually go to www.sleeveyourgames.com/ for the right size and get Mayday or Gamegenic sleeves.

I use matte back Dragon shield sleeves because the textured back keeps the big stack of cards from sliding off each other

My biggest problem with this game.. well two big problems: 1. Analysis paralysis. There are often so many things you can do, and even more if you project into the future. This can often lead me to getting frustrated and indecisive heh 2. Pace. Is it just me, are we doing something wrong? The game seems to build up extremely slow and then END just when you are starting to actually be able to do things. I've been tempted to play this where you go through multiple years.

Lost Ruins of Arnak, which I love, every time I play, the rounds go so fast, I sometimes lose track and before I know it, it’s the end of the game and I’m desperately trying to complete things. With Everdell I am ok. I want to play more expansions, and I’ve said to myself I will do it this year :)

@patryk996 10 ай бұрын

This feels like a summary of the rules in the manual. I was hoping to get a context of the goals and how things feed one another toward gaining points, but the game is so complex, it feels like someone was high and made up a bunch of rules and wrote them down. None of this makes any sense. What helps me get points? Everything feels so random. They should have named it Everrandom.
