About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, board game enthusiasts! If you've fallen in love with the charming world of Everdell and enjoy the Pearlbrook expansion, get ready for an upgrade that will make your forest even more vibrant! The Freshwater Pack is that special treat that brings all the Collector's Edition content, straight from Kickstarter, to supercharge your base game. Think brand-new meeples, like the adorable axolotls, platypuses, and starlings, all with a special amphibian ambassador charm. Plus, you get more glass pearls for that extra sparkle, a component punchboard with handy signs (open/closed, you know?), and even 3D Wonders that will elevate your city's aesthetic. Oh, and let's not forget the extra cards: Adornments, Special Events, and Forest cards that bring more strategy and replayability. If you already own the Collector's Edition of Pearlbrook, don't worry, this content is already included. But if you're looking to give your gameplay an extra boost, this pack is the perfect way to add more color, more options, and more fun to your table. It's your chance to make your Everdell even more unique and special!

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

Is this pack a standalone game or does it require the base Everdell game?
This is an expansion pack, so you need the base game Everdell and the Pearlbrook expansion to use all the content from this Freshwater Pack.
What new components are included in this pack?
It includes axolotl, platypus, and starling meeples, glass pearls, Adornment, Special Event, and Forest cards, as well as a punchboard with signs and 3D Wonders.

Does this pack significantly increase the game's complexity?
It adds more options and cards, which might give a sense of increased complexity, but the core rules of Everdell and Pearlbrook remain the same. It's more about variety than complex new rules.
Who is this Freshwater Pack for?
It's ideal for those who already own Everdell and Pearlbrook and want access to all the Collector's Edition components, especially the extra meeples and cards that add a special touch to the game.
