Board Game - Everdell. The Far Shore

Welcome to "The Far Shore"! In this standalone board game from the "Everdell" series, you will lead a team of workers for three seasons. With their help, you will build a prosperous city and explore the enchanting ocean beyond. But only brave and wise captains can handle this task: to manage the ship, one must carefully plan their actions to adapt to changing winds and stay on course. Hurry to reach the distant shores of picturesque islands before the restless ocean waves wash them away!

"Everdell: The Far Shore" expands on the idea of its "big brother," adding new mechanics and slightly transforming the familiar ones. For example, thanks to anchors, you no longer need to wait for the right building card to place a worker there, but you only have 3 anchors for the entire game. Moving on the ship along the sea route is assisted by playing cards. Which cards? This is determined by the compass rose, which changes its direction several times during the game. Also, identical cards coming to the market are now stacked instead of taking up separate places – you will always have 8 different cards to choose from!

How to play?
To create your own coastal city, you need a team. And you have one! At the beginning of the game, each player receives two workers in hand, places one on the ship, and three are placed on the lighthouse – they will become available to you later.

Your goal is to earn the most victory points. They are awarded for cards in your city, for prosperity cards, as well as for earned tokens, treasures, and parchments. But let's go in order. On your turn, you can take one of three actions:

- Place a worker
- Play a card
- Prepare for a new season
- You can send a free worker to any available location. Coastal locations provide resources and cards. Island locations also bring resources with cards, and can sometimes be more advantageous, but they may be inaccessible due to high tides. At the docks, you can discard cards from your hand in exchange for resources, and at the lookout point in exchange for new cards. You can also send a worker to a location card in your city to use its property, as well as to the dunes to receive parchment.

If you have already assigned all your workers to tasks, you can play cards on your turn, not only from your hand but also from the bay. To do this, you need to pay the resources indicated to the left of the card's name and place it face up in front of you – congratulations, you have just expanded your city! And if you want to play a character card but lack resources, use the help of anchors: by spending one of these tokens, place the character in your city for free! But you only have 3 anchors for the entire game. And when you play a card that matches one of the compass rose tokens, your ship moves along the sea route. 

And now, when you can no longer send workers to locations or play cards, it’s time to prepare for the next season: take back all your workers from the field, take an additional worker from the lighthouse, and receive the reward for the new season. The last player to prepare for spring and autumn changes the compass rose tokens, while the last player to prepare for summer applies the effect of high tides and sinks 2 any island locations.

If at the end of the autumn season you can no longer or do not want to do anything, you can end the game. In this case, you skip all your subsequent turns and just wait for the last player to finish the game in the same way. After that, all players count up victory points, and the one with the most points wins!
