Evergreen

Grow a planet, one sprout at a time.

Each round you take a Biome card from a shared pool, which decides where on your planet you develop. Then you plant — sprouts become trees, bushes fill gaps, lakes go where nothing else will. Trees cast shadows, and shadows matter, so where you put the first one shapes everything that follows.

An abstract strategy game that plays like a relaxing one, which is a hard trick. The scoring rewards planning several rounds ahead but nothing on the board is ever hostile to you.

Plays solo. Forty-five minutes to an hour.

Perfect for: Players who want to think hard without anyone taking a swing at them.

1–4 players | 45–60 minutes | Age 8+
