Everstone: Discovering Ignis (2024)

About this game

After miles of travel with no other noise around you but your own, you see for your own eyes what all the murmurs have been about—the city of Ignis. You thought it would be bigger, based on all the whispered conversations you overheard, but you guess that means you’ll have a better chance of getting your story captured in the history books. In Everstone, you will take on the role of one of the first pathfinders to arrive on undeveloped land. Your goal is to be the most reputable of them all. Travel the area, Influence and Trade with other pioneers, Harvest the land, and Repair the Relics that have been long forgotten to become one of the most influential members of Ignis. Players in Everstone will take turns moving their action pawn to a new location on their player board to perform its action. Everstone is packed with action chaining and discovery. Game play continues with players taking turns until one player has gained ten reputation points. -description from designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.9/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
