  • Review: Everdell Silverfrost

    On the other side of the snow-capped mountains of Crestaguja, south of the Everdell valley, lies the rugged region of Silverfrost. There, critters brave the cold seasons to enjoy the serene beauty of this land and the warmth of a loyal community. It is up to you to build and maintain a city in this inhospitable landscape. You must clear accumulated snow, light fires to keep your citizens warm and thriving, and complete important missions for the Ranger Guild.

    This is how we are presented with Everdell Silverfrost, designed by James A. Wilson and Clarissa A. Wilson (Everdell, Everdell Duo). First published in 2025 by Starling Games in an English version. The illustrations are handled by Enggar Adirasa (Everdell Duo, Mistfall) and Lukas Siegmon (Age of Innovation, Hallertau).
