Evergreen: The Board Game

Evergreen is a game of strategy that focuses on growing trees and building a thriving ecosystem on your planet. The objective of the game is to create the greenest and most fertile planet with lush trees, bushes and lakes. This could be achieved both by playing solo or multiplayer modes. In the solo mode, you can play against AI bots while in the multiplayer mode, you can challenge friends and online players from anywhere in the world.

To begin playing, you must draw a Biome card from the available pool, which will help you determine the area of your planet you're going to work on for the current round. You will then proceed to plant seeds, grow trees and create forests by placing bushes and lakes strategically. You will need to use the power of nature to gain extra actions to help you beat your opponents.

Each round in Evergreen has a different Biome card to use, which allows you to develop specific areas of the game board and activate its power to grow more trees. The Biome card that is least chosen becomes the most valuable, thereby teaching players the need to focus on unselected areas. You need to concentrate your trees in the most fertile areas and ensure that they collect light without shading each other, which allows you to score more points.

The Pines and Cacti expansions introduce new plants that interact uniquely with light and shadow in exciting ways, allowing you to discover new forest-planning strategies to get the most points. Each modular expansion comes with a new power, and players can use only six powers at a time. If a new power is added, another must be removed.

The game is designed with network planning gameplay that allows you to make the best use of available actions in each round to create the most prosperous environment. It also features over 20 achievements to unlock as you play. The game's artwork by Wenyi Geng adds to the wonderful experience of playing Evergreen.

To fully enjoy the game features, you'd need to create a Horrible Guild account to access its online functionality and cross-platform multiplayer challenges.
