What to Expect
You build and maintain a winter city in the Silverfrost region at the edge of the map, sending critter workers to board locations, cards or mountaintop beacons to gather resources, clear snow and activate effects. Play cards into your tableau, manage Fire to clear snow and use a Ranger worker for special visits. Turns revolve around placing workers, playing cards or preparing for the next season.
Who Is This Game For?
Aimed at hobby/enthusiast players and Everdell fans; suitable from age 10. With an estimated duration of 120 minutes it requires time and some experience with engine- and tableau-building. Familiarity with Worker-Placement and set collection mechanics is helpful.
How It Works
Silverfrost combines Worker-Placement, Hand Management, Open Drafting and Set Collection. Each turn choose one of three actions: place a worker, play a card, or prepare for the next season. Locations can be blocked by Snow that must be cleared with Fire resources; a unique Ranger worker can visit occupied spaces or gain Fire when visiting alone. Cards are played into your personal tableau from hand or the Valley area and enable combos.
What Makes It Special
Designed by James A. Wilson and Clarissa A. Wilson; Silverfrost is a standalone edge-of-the-map title in the Everdell family that adds Snow/Fire dynamics and Ranger-special actions to the series’ tableau-building focus.
Pro
- Marries Worker-Placement with tableau/engine-building and hand management
- Standalone Everdell title with new card abilities and combos
- Snow/Fire mechanics introduce fresh strategic decisions
- Supports solo play (1–4 players)
Contra
- Long playtime (~120 minutes) demands patience
