About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to venture into the dark depths of Mistwood! If you're already a fan of Everdell's cozy vibe, this expansion adds a spicy layer of tension and strategy. The star of the show is Nightweave, a cunning and villainous spider who is definitely not playing fair. She and her spiderlings are plotting a full-scale takeover of Everdell, and it's up to you to thwart her sticky schemes and protect the forest.

Mistwood isn't just a new setting; it's an extra layer of challenge. The expansion significantly enhances the gameplay experience, particularly in solo or two-player matches, where Nightweave serves as a relentless opponent. It's the kind of content that shifts the base game's dynamics, adding complexity while maintaining that charming essence we all love. Furthermore, it allows for the integration of legendary heroes from the More Legends and Corrin Evertail packs, letting you recruit figures of yore to bolster your city's defenses and economy.

For those who love optimizing every move and building powerful combos, Mistwood offers new ways to transform your farms and expand your influence. When combined with the Through Every Season pack, the experience becomes even richer, altering how you manage seasons and resource allocation. It's the perfect choice for players who feel they've mastered the base game and want to test their wits against arachnid villainy. Will you be able to unravel Nightweave's web of intrigue, or will you find yourself trapped in her plans? Strategy is key here: every card played and every worker placed could be the difference between your village's prosperity and the forest's total domination by the villain.
