About the game

What you do in a play session

Pack your bags and set your sails because the Forever Sea is calling! Everdell Farshore takes us away from the valley and drops us on the rugged northern coast, where mystery and adventure rule the landscape. Here, you aren't just building a village; you're leading a crew of brave critters to found a prosperous city while exploring the wonders of the ocean.

This is a standalone experience, meaning you don't need the original Everdell to set sail. The gameplay revolves around managing your workers to gather resources, build structures, and, of course, navigate. The big twist is the interaction with the waves and winds: the ocean is alive and constantly shifting, requiring you to adapt your strategy in real-time. If you're too rigid, the sea will swallow you; if you know how to read the winds, glory (and treasure) will be yours.

You'll encounter stalwart sailors searching for bountiful islands, dedicated monks in their scriptoriums translating ancient texts, and hardworking folk trying to harmonize the city's architecture with the rhythm of the tides. It's the kind of game that blends the satisfaction of seeing your city grow with the tension of exploring the unknown. Planning is key: every action counts, and the choice of which card to play or which spot to occupy can be the difference between prosperity and shipwreck.

With stunning art and components that are a joy to handle, Farshore expands the Everdell universe with a nautical and exploratory vibe, keeping the essence of management and building that players love. The sun is already breaking the horizon, so it's time to gather your crew and discover what lies beyond the horizon!
