Everdell Silverfrost Collector's Edition

Silverfrost is a bigger challenge than standard Everdell, full of fresh game mechanics that will appeal to seasoned players and newcomers alike.

You do not just build a city in this ice cold region, you also have to clear away piles of snow, keep fires burning to keep everyone warm and prosperous, and complete important missions for the Ranger's Guild.

You will also find a special bond with the Great Beasts of the region. If you light a beacon high in the mountains, one of these legendary giants will come to your aid. Thanks to them, the inhabitants can survive harsh times and succeed where others would fail.

The fierce winter storms are coming. Your mission is anything but simple. Keep the fires burning to light the beacons, call in the Great Beasts and make sure your people flourish in magical Silverfrost!

About the game

In Silverfrost you lead a group of animal workers who set out to gather resources and build a city of their own. The game takes place in a cold region, where snow and fire are the keys to success.

Discovering worlds and building cities

In Silverfrost you send your workers to various Locations: on the board, at cards or on the mountain. There you can collect resources and take unique actions. With these resources you play cards face up in front of you, so you build your own city step by step. Each turn you may take only one action:

1. Place a worker,
2. Play a card,
3. Or prepare for the next season.

How do you play Silverfrost?

1. Placing a Worker
   • You may place one worker on a Basic Location, on a red Destination card (in your city or in an opponent's city), or on special spots such as the Forge, the Hot Spring or the beacon tower on top of the mountain.
   • If there is snow, you first pay a Fire resource to melt the snow away.
   • Your Ranger worker may even visit a spot that is already occupied. Is he alone at a Location? Then you get an extra Fire resource.
2. Playing a Card
   • Pay the required resources, or use one of your two Chimneys to play a Critter card for free, as long as you have enough Fire to stoke the chimney.
   • You may play cards from your hand or from the face up cards in the 'Valley'.
   • Almost all cards in Silverfrost have new, powerful actions. They create lots of combinations and strategies.
3. Preparing for the Next Season
   • Out of workers? Then you take all your workers back and gain one more.
   • You follow the action of the new season, which brings fresh snow to the board and to your city, plus new challenges.

A player is finished once he or she has gone through the final season (Spring) and can take no more actions. As soon as all players are finished, you count the points. The player with the most points wins this ice cold adventure!
