Everdell: Mistwood (Expansion)^*

Everdell: Mistwood is an expansion for the worker-placement game Everdell, aimed squarely at solo and two-player sessions. It adds an opponent, new heroes, and a fresh mode to the valley of critters. The base game is required.

What's it about?

Deep within the Mistwood, the cunning Nightweave spins her schemes, plotting to seize Everdell with the help of her spiderlings. You stand against her and her treacherous plans, alone or with one other player.

What's in the box?

Mistwood broadens the game on several fronts:

• Nightweave, an automated opponent for solo and head-to-head play
• Heroes from the "More Legends" and "Corrin Evertail" packs to recruit
• The new "Through Every Season" pack that transforms your farms
• Extra cards and components for added variety

Who is it for?

Great for Everdell fans who often play the base game solo or as a couple and want a sterner challenge. Players who mostly bring Everdell out for big groups will get less from it.

Conclusion

A focused expansion for small player counts with a clever solo opponent. Soloists and pairs win here; pure multiplayer groups less so. The base game stays mandatory.
