Worker placement enthusiasts, unite! When, some time ago, the first brave pioneers talked about this mechanic—decades ago now—they mentioned a charming game where, among sheep, wheat, and pumpkins, you had to juggle managing a farm. I’m naturally talking about the great Uwe Rosenberg and his masterpiece, Agricola.

From there on, the mechanic of “place meeple, resolve action on the board, pass to the next player” forcefully entered the gaming scene, sparking the German game genre where this flow is widely used. 

Meanwhile, graphics went wild especially in the American game scene, with dungeons and alien spaceships, and illustrators went all out with increasingly eye-catching colors and shapes.

Add to that the fact that introducing newcomers to board games requires something extremely cute and simple, et voilà, we have all the ingredients for a simple German-style game with adorable graphics. That is… Everdell.

It’s “that game with the giant tree that takes up half your table and half your ego if you thought you were a skilled strategist.” In this colorful game, you’ll lead a merry band of woodland animals building an idyllic city among the treetops, gathering berries, wood, resin, and stones — yes, exactly, the components look like gummy candies but DO NOT eat them (seriously, resist).

Starling Games has created a true masterpiece here: many hardcore gamers might raise an eyebrow at this statement, but the authors and illustrators accomplished a really tough feat — creating a title that satisfies everyone, with stunning artwork and a wonderful overall game board view. Sure, it’s not a heavyweight Eurogame or a flashy American game, but here we have a game you can truly, truly suggest to everyone.

And naturally, the success couldn’t be stopped, as five expansions—Pearlbrook, Bellfaire, Spirecrest, Mistwood, and Newleafenrich the gameplay with ponds, mountains, trains, spider dens, and more. 

Of course, we at The Dicetroyers couldn’t just stand by while this tabletop frenzy raged on, so here we are ready to manage the chaos with our Everdell setup tools! Here you’ll find… berries for your teeth, organizers for the entire base game and expansions saga, and our Eternal Wooden Tree to keep your little animals well-prepared and organized for winter. Card holders with dedicated slots, single trays for each race, token and meeple holders to manage the woods like true pros. 

Because to be ready and organized for winter, you need the ultimate solution. Shut up, and setup!
