GREETINGS, TRAVELERS!

We are thrilled to introduce the next standalone game in the Everdell Edge of the Map series, which explores the exciting and diverse countries bordering the Everdell Valley. 

The series launched in 2023 with Farshore, which took players to the northern coastal country. Farshore offers players a lighter, more breezy Everdell experience.

Now, it is time to venture south, beyond the snow-capped Spirecrest mountains, to the bold country of Silverfrost. Featuring breathtaking art from Lukas Siegmon, get ready to be swept away to a stunning new location in the world of Everdell!

Silverfrost is a more complex and strategic challenge than standard Everdell, with innovative new mechanics to engage veteran and first-time Everdell players alike.

Not only will you be building a city in this frigid landscape, but you must also clear the piling snow, burn the fires to keep your citizens warm and prosperous, and complete important quests for the Ranger’s Guild.

There is a unique relationship with the Big Critters who dwell in these parts. When a mountaintop Beacon is lit, one of the legendary giants will come to the aid of those who called. In this way, critters have been able to survive hardships and succeed where others would have failed.

Winter’s fury is approaching. Your task will not be simple. Kindle fires to light the Beacons, call upon the Big Critters, and find a way to thrive in the enchanting realm of Silverfrost!

In Silverfrost, you send critter workers to various Locations on the board, cards, or the mountain to gather resources and activate unique effects. You use these resources to play cards face up in front of you, forming your own city. Each turn, you take 1 of 3 possible actions — Place a worker, Play a card, or Prepare for the next season.

You may place 1 of your workers on any Basic Location, Red Destination card in your city or opponent’s cities, the Forge, the Hot Springs, or a mountaintop Beacon, so long as it is not blocked by Snow or another worker. You then claim the listed resources or perform the action. If there is Snow at the location, you must first spend a Fire resource to clear the snow pile. If you use your unique Ranger worker, you can visit an occupied location, or gain a Fire resource if visiting a location alone.

To play a card, you must pay the listed cost of resources. If it is a Critter, you may instead play it for free by using 1 of your 2 Chimneys, so long as you have the necessary Fire to light it. Cards may be played either from your hand, or from the area of face-up cards on the board known as the Valley. Nearly all of the cards in Silverfrost feature new and powerful abilities, offering a huge variety of strategic depth and combos to explore.

If all of your workers are deployed, you may prepare for the next season by bringing back all of your workers, gaining a new worker, and performing the action described for the following season, introducing new snowfall to the board and to your city, as well as other challenges. A player is finished when they have played through the last season (Spring) and cannot perform any more actions. After all players have finished, the player with the most points is the winner.
