About This 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.

HOW TO PLAY


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!

EXPANSIONS


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.

MODES


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! *

If you enjoy the Evergreen board game or Photosynthesis (made by the same person), you will probably enjoy this game. We really appreciate the pass and play mode to play offline on the same PC. For the price, it's a great deal for a digital board game. If you're familiar with the game, that helps a lot but if you're not there may be a learning curve. There's a few areas that could be improved.. Music could use some variety Minimalist design is nice but some optional tooltips for learning the game would be helpful Rulebook could use some expansion (definitions of the symbols and abilities for example)

Great Implementation, HOWEVER, please please, give a dark mode. Hover inormation on cards if possible, but dark mode is a desperately needed feature.

Good game, fun to play against AI opponents. Nice to learn the game at a lower price than the physical board game

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.

An excellent implementation of the board game. A lovely relaxing way to kill some time.

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.
