About Evergreen: The Board Game
Evergreen is a tree-growing abstract strategy game where your goal is to build a lush ecosystem, planting seeds, growing trees, and placing other natural elements on your planet, trying to make it the greenest and most fertile of all. Play solo or compete against other players in multiplayer matches.
1. Pick a Biome card from a common pool to determine the area of your Planet you’re going to develop each round.
2. Grow your Trees, plant Bushes, and place Lakes to create a huge Forest, and use the power of Nature to gain extra Actions!
3. Concentrate your Trees in the most Fertile areas and let them collect Light without overshadowing each other to score points!
Each round you will choose a Biome card that allow you to develop on a specific biome of the board and activate its Power to grow even more trees. But even the cards you do NOT choose are just as important, since the least chosen biomes become more Fertile, and thus more valuable!
Try to keep your Trees close to each other to score points for your biggest Forest… but you also want them to collect as much Light as possible without shading each other, so be mindful of the position of the sun!
The Pines and Cacti expansions add new plants that that interact with light and shadow in interesting ways: discover new forest-planning strategies to get the most points out of them!
Each modular expansion introduces a new Power. There must always be 6 Powers in the game, so if you want to play with a new Power, another must be removed. But you can play with more than 1 Expansion module at a time if you so desire.
Play solo against AI bots, or compete in local (pass and play) or online multiplayer to challenge players from all over the world! The online leaderboard is completely cross-platform! *
Evergreen is the official adaptation of the critically acclaimed board game created by award-winning designer Hjalmar Hach and illustrated by artist Wenyi Geng.
*Horrible Guild account is required to access online functionality.

Great Implementation, HOWEVER, please please, give a dark mode. Hover inormation on cards if possible, but dark mode is a desperately needed feature.3 found this helpful
I had recently played the physical version of this board game and enjoyed it very much. When I learned of a digital version, I decided to also get it. The gameplay is smooth, the music is soothing, and the game overall is chill and fun. Highly recommend both digital and the physical board game!2 found this helpful
I've been enjoying this game as a nice break from my usual lineup, and for just €5, it’s definitely worth the price. The nature theme and tree-planting concept are both charming and add a refreshing touch to the experience. The game features a beautiful design and provides a smooth, relaxing gameplay experience. However, I found the in-game tutorial a bit difficult to follow at first. After checking out some explanation videos, I got the hang of it, but a more intuitive tutorial would be helpful for new players. I also managed to defeat the hardest AI shortly after the tutorial, so the challenge might not be as high as expected. It could benefit from some adjustments to increase the difficulty and provide a greater challenge. Overall, this game offers good value for money and is enjoyable for casual play, though there are a few areas where it could be improved.2 found this helpful
An excellent implementation of the board game. A lovely relaxing way to kill some time.1 found this helpful
The game is a bit deceptive. It may look simple because you have set amount of actions and you're just drawing cards. But a lot of the gimmick of this game is from the cards you select and the ones you leave behind. The more I learned this game the more it became obvious how much the draft takes part in the game. End of round objectives decide how you play your game but the fact those end of round objectives are constantly being manipulated makes building your trees not as simple. What's better is that 2 DLC take advantage of the shade mechanic of the game giving you much more to think about. Love how the game looks on PC, Loved it on steam deck and i'm really happy with it being a portrait mode game on mobile. It's a cheap game that you can easily play from time to time. I didn't expect to like it but the more I played the more it grew on me.
Great price for a solid game. Really enjoy this one. I'm gonna pick up the physical version too.
