How it plays

How does it play?

Build a woodland city together or head-to-head, place workers for resources, and draft only the meadow cards touched by the moving sun and moon.

Read the full game description

Everdell Duo distills Everdell’s worker placement and tableau building into a game designed specifically for one or two players. Across four seasons, players gather twigs, resin, pebbles, and berries, then play critter and construction cards into compact cities. A sun and moon travel along the meadow, and only cards touching either marker may be played, turning the shared market into a constantly shifting timing puzzle. Competitive play rewards sharper city building and event races, while cooperative play uses objectives, limited turns, and a chapter-based campaign whose scenarios reshape the challenge. Familiar card synergies remain central, but the restricted meadow and brisk thirty-minute structure make every placement consequential.
