EVERDELL | Board Game | 2 Player Playthrough | The Enchanted Forest of Critters and Constructions

[@GoldEdition42]

The zoom on cards being played is an excellent touch.

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Thank you very much! Really glad you like it. We think it makes it easier to follow what is going on in the game.

[@elisedesilvaart7795]

This helped so much. I love that you just got straight into playing the game without a big long preamble. You also don't do a whole lot of unnecessary chat dieing the game too which can be so annoying. We were a bit confused after watching other hour too play videos, but now we know exactly what we're doing. Thank you!

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Hi there! It is great to hear that our video helped you. Thank you very much for watching and for taking the time to comment!

[@garrettjohnson6738]

Thanks!

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Wow! Thank you very much for your donation. We really appreciate it!! Really glad that you enjoyed the video.

[@norry313]

Once again this is my go to channel, to watch some game play of games I either just bought or looking to buy, this video was very helpful, thank you 😊 you guys are the best

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

That is great to hear. Thanks a lot for always watching and taking the time to comment. We really do appreciate it. Glad that the video was helpful. Everdell is a surprisingly deep game despite the cute art. Hope you get to give it a go at some stage!

[@norry313]

@@AllAboardBoardgames no worries, I love your videos.. I ended up buying the massive collectors edition with all the expansions, can't wait to try them all out

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

@@norry313 Wow! We haven't tried any of the expansions yet, though I do have my eyes on Spirecrest. Would love to hear how they are when you get to play them!

[@michaelcyr1620]

Something it looks like you guys were playing incorrectly: when you draw cards, you can only draw from the deck. You can't draw from the Meadow unless you have something that specifically tells you to draw from the Meadow.

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Hi Michael. Thank you very much for pointing that out. We missed that rule, but you are absolutely correct. You can only draw from the Meadow if the card or action space specifically says that you can. I hope this didn't ruin your enjoyment of the video.

[@fleezybaby]

@@AllAboardBoardgames you can play a card from the meadow though, on your turn, as your action :)

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

@@fleezybaby Yes that is true! Thanks for that. :-)

[@alternativemilkspdx]

This helped me see this game in a new way, thanks! I think I'll definitely be better at it the next play.

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

That's brilliant Dustin. We're delighted the video helped you out. There is a mistake that we made that I would like to point out just in case - you are not allowed to draw cards from the Meadow unless you get a card or an action that specifically allows you to. Let us know how you get on next time! :)

[@klinerinos]

Really enjoyed today’s play through! Such a beautiful setup, and might I say, beautifully played game by yee two.

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Thanks a lot Young Lifer. Everdell is a really beautiful game and it's quite deep and strategic too despite the cute looks!

[@rpgamerpro9972]

Great video, thank you. Loved the post-game strategy breakdown. Well done!

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Thanks a lot for your comment RP! We're delighted you liked the video!

[@EfrainRiveraJunior]

I backed the Kickstarter and went all-in. I've never played this game before, though. I hope that I'm not disappointed as I was with Agricola.

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

We really like Everdell. It looks like it is going to be a short game when you finish the first season, but it scales up suddenly and you find that there is quite a lot to do. For all the cute graphics in the game it is surprisingly deep. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

[@Rik77]

Really interesting that you didnt fulfill any tree cards, I also find it difficult to get those.

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Hi Rik77! Yeah, I find that the event cards and special event cards don't really give you enough points to turn your strategy towards them. I tend to focus more on trying to get a card that gives points for the number of common/unique critters/constructions in your city, or go for Prosperity cards.

[@bernardgodfrey3499]

Excellent presentation. Not my sort of game unfortunately, but I can understand the appeal. You pair have such a relaxed style of play, it's a pleasure to watch regardless of personal interest. And let's be honest, you never know!!!

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Hi Bernard. Everdell is actually quite fun when you play it. Resources are difficult to come by and you have to be pretty strategic to make the most of them. Glad you enjoyed the video anyway! Thanks a lot for the comment.

[@Teddyrobinson]

Everdell looks fun!

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Everdell is a lot of fun! It's got a beautiful presentation with great artwork, and surprisingly deep strategy for such a cute game.

[@danielhaposanmarbun6867]

I see shopkeeper, I get shopkeeper! Haha.. I love everdell. My wife and I played it a lot. We love the the game style and complexity, minis and resources build quality, and the artwork is amazing. Can you recommend us what game similar to everdell?

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Everdell really is a beautiful game. The artwork is incredible and it is really nice to immerse in that world. As regards games that are similar to Everdell, we really like Stone Age which is also a worker placement game with a nice theme. It is not too difficult but there is still plenty of strategy. Viticulture is also a lovely worker placement game. This time you are planting and harvesting grapes to make wine and then complete orders to sell different types of wine. You might also have a look at Wingspan, which once again has beautiful art, great components and a very nice theme (birdwatching!). Hope this helps!

[@caitlinz6630]

Thanks for these wonderful gameplay videos. They're so fun to watch, the production is excellent, and the pacing is just right. I stumbled across your channel today and have loved the Agricola & Everdell videos! (The ones I've watched so far). Happily subscribed and looking forward to continuing to follow your excellent content :)

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Caitlin, thank you so much for your kind comment. We are really delighted to get comments like this that give us feedback on our videos, and we're so happy that you enjoy our content. We really appreciate your subscription and hope you enjoy our future videos too. Hope to hear from you again!

[@timstevenson7454]

Always draw from the deck unless specifically told to draw from the meadow

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Thank you Tim. Yes, we made that mistake throughout the game. Hope you enjoyed the playthrough anyway!

[@dancingshade5344]

Fun playthrough, but you missed many synergies that would extend gameplay. Those zero cost cards, in the meadow, would have been useful. The dungeon could have gotten rid of your "fool" card to make something else cheaper, the ruins is actually a good mid game card that allows destruction of a useless contuction for resources and a card. And the evertree can be used to bring in any critter for free, so you could have brought in another critter at the end instead of just ending your game. But this video is a year old, so maybe I'm just tootin my own horn. Enjoyed the video.

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Hi DancingShade. Thanks a lot for those strategy insights. These are some of the things that make Everdell so great. There is a real depth to the game and lots of great little combos and interactions like that. The Evertree was a big oversight. It would have been nice to bring in a free critter. It's great to get your feedback, and we're glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for your comment!

[@Likush100]

Thank you for the play through! Question, aren’t you suppose to put a worker in order to activate Destination card? Looks like in the game it was activated without placing a worker

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Hi there. You are very welcome. Thank you very much for watching. To answer your question, yes, you would need to place a worker to activate the Destination card. Did we miss this? If you let me know a time code I will add it to the Klingon subtitles. Cheers!

[@caminoentrelaniebla]

You have a great channel, I really like your playthrougs! Would you recommend Everdell as a 2 player game? And have you tried any of the expansions? If so, what do you think of them? Thanks in advance!

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Hi Javier! Thank you very much for the compliment. It really means a lot to us to hear that you guys are enjoying our channel! I would absolutely recommend Everdell as a 2-player game. We always play it 2-player and really enjoy it. It does scale somewhat to 2 players as you place less Forest Locations, and the second space found on some of the locations are not available when less than 4 players are playing. We haven't tried the expansions yet, but I have heard some great things about Spirecrest!

[@caminoentrelaniebla]

@@AllAboardBoardgames Thank you very much for the response, I think I'll end up getting the game sooner or later :D

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

@@caminoentrelaniebla You're very welcome. :-) Everdell really is fun, and looks beautiful on the table! Please note that we did make a mistake in our playthrough - when you draw cards, unless specifically stated, you must draw from the deck. We missed this rule and drew from the Meadow a couple of times. But you should still get the idea of how it works! If you do end up getting it, let us know what you think of it!

[@caminoentrelaniebla]

@@AllAboardBoardgames It does look beautiful! Yes, I had taken a quick look at the rules before watching the playthrough, so I noticed that little mistake regarding drawing cards from the Meadow. Actually, now I'm considering getting the game as a present for my girlfriend, we enjoy playing games together and I think she'd like this one! And sure, I can share my impressions afterwards. Thanks again for replying and for the advice, you're very nice!

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

I’m sure your girlfriend would be delighted to get Everdell, and it is nice to play together! Looking forward to hearing your impressions. I’m always happy to give advice if I can so feel free to ask! :-)

[@djackson920]

This was another good video. Pat, you had some powerful cards in your city! Even with the rule mistake in the way you were drawing cards I enjoyed watching it. The strategy tips at the end were great! I've played Everdell twice and will use your tips in my next game. Where did you get the clear trays you used for the resources?

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Hi Mrs. Jackson! Thanks a lot for your comment. Sorry about our oversight on drawing cards from the Meadow but we're glad you still enjoyed it! I hope the strategy tips can help you out in your next game! The clear trays come from other games - they come with Scythe and Wingspan, both from Stonemaier Games. They're really useful to keep the resources neat!

[@krstakg12]

wait what? you dont draw from the medow you draw from the drawing pile when you stand on forest place 2 berries and draw a card.

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Hi Janko. Yes, you are correct. We made a rule error there. Sorry about that. Hope you still enjoyed the video!

[@vinnie2099]

nice video. but I was wondering why did you pay for the wife even though you had the farm but didn't pay for the husband? totally ok by the rules btw, I was just wondering

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Hi Vincent. Thank you for your comment. At 8:14 I played a Wife. At that time I had the Husband in my hand and the Farm was already in my city. Each construction can only give 1 free critter, and because the Husband costs 3 berries, and the Wife costs 2, I paid the berry cost for the Wife and played the Husband for free. I played the Wife first so that when I played the Husband, I would get the free resource for pairing it with a Wife and a Farm.

[@sohodt1]

Ok, I thought when the Evertree card is played, it let's you automatically, immediately play any critter for free. I saw a different playthrough video where they did this, and a different one where they didn't. Help me out here.
