About the game

What you do in a play session

The world is drowning, and the rain won't stop. The Everrain is a cooperative exploration game where you and your friends take on the roles of desperate captains trying to save what's left of civilization. With a modular board that changes every game, each adventure is unique—sail through dark seas, recruit eccentric crews, and face the Old Gods who've awakened to destroy everything. The action point mechanic demands strategic planning, while dice add a dash of chaos to your decisions. Upgrade your ship, complete quests, and uncover the secrets behind the endless rain before it's too late. And watch out: the Old Gods' minions are out there, ready to mess with your plans. Can your crew handle the pressure?
