About the game
What you do in a play session
Get your cauldrons ready and dust off your brooms, because Evenfall has arrived! In this game, you lead a Magic Clan during a pivotal moment: reality is collapsing, and the World-Tree has opened its gateways to unknown distant regions. Your goal? Control the Places of Power and ensure your clan claims the legendary Enchanted Throne. But don't expect a walk in the park; the rivalry between witches is fierce, and efficiency is everything.
Evenfall is a card-driven engine-builder where the core experience lies in how you construct your point-generating machine. You'll need to manage your resources with precision and, most importantly, master the art of chaining. The real thrill comes from creating action sequences where one card triggers another, which triggers a power, which generates a resource... and so on, turning a simple turn into an avalanche of productive moves.
You'll deal with worker placement—using different types of witches, each with their own specific roles—and utilize multi-use cards that force tough decisions. Your strategy will evolve as you discover unexpected synergies between your cards and available actions. Over three intense rounds, the order in which you execute your actions can be the difference between eternal glory on the throne or becoming just another forgotten clan. If you love games where the feeling of 'becoming absurdly powerful' is rewarding, Evenfall is for you. It's a perfect fit for players who enjoy planning, optimizing, and watching their master plan unfold perfectly while opponents struggle to keep up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Is the game too complex?
It's rated as 'Expert' (weight 3.11), so it has several layers. It's not impossible, but you'll need to focus on the chaining rules to avoid getting stuck early on.
How long does a game take?
Usually between 60 and 120 minutes. Playtime varies depending on the group's familiarity with the combo system.
Does it work well in solo mode?
Yes, the game supports 1 to 4 players, allowing you to test your strategies solo.
Do I need a translation to play?
Language dependence is moderate. Since there's a fair amount of text on the cards, having a translation sheet or translated cards helps a lot.
Who do you recommend this for?
