About the game
Get ready for an unforgettable celebration in the realm of Everdell! The king invites everyone to the grand Bellfaire, an event marking the centenary of Everdell's founding, promising to bring even more life and strategy to your games. Bellfaire isn't just an expansion; it's a package of modules you can add to your base game, allowing you to customize the experience according to your group and preferences. The most exciting new feature is the ability to expand your tables to accommodate up to 5 or 6 players, which means more friends, more meeples, and more fun building your forest settlements. Furthermore, the expansion introduces unique player powers, giving each player an asymmetric advantage from the start, and individual resource boards to manage your resources more efficiently. A new Bellfaire board adds a vibrant Market, an unprecedented location for your workers to explore and find new opportunities. And to spice up the competition, Garland Awards are shared end-game goals that everyone can contend for, ensuring strategy extends until the very last turn. To top it all off, new Special Event cards emerge, bringing unexpected twists and challenges. If you already love Everdell and want more variety, more players, and more strategic depth, Bellfaire is the royal invitation you've been waiting for!
