This is a very Beautiful game, with a large tree (The Ever Tree) as part of it’s board and the lovely countryside all around it, You feel as if you are there buying and selling among the branches. It is also a relaxed game of worker placement and resource collection with card development through the seasons. You can only either place a worker, play a card or prepare for season. As with everything about this game the artwork and workers have a charm that fits the feel and beauty that flows through the whole and helps with the feel of contentment as you explore the delight that is this game. Rarely is there a game that is this much fun and yet has a beauty that just flows from every pore. other than Wingspan I can’t think of an other.
This is a point earning game, as is the normal, you don’t know who has won until the end. With this game you can be finished well before everyone else so be sure you are ready before you go to prepare for the next season. It is not unusual to have several goes still to go when the person next to you is finished and waiting on you.
One of the great things about this exquisite game, is that you can play this game in solo mode, making it a lovely way to spend a couple of quiet hours. So whether you play with others or on your own, this is a great way to while away your time. and it even comes with it’s own poem.
Wandering the woods
Gathering the stones
Wearing in the path
That leads you to our home
Laying down the floors
Raising up the walls
Working through the days
Winter through til Fall
and so on….
