Farshore, One Year Later: How-to-Play and Review! 🌊

Hey there, thank you so much for joining me for this review of Everdell: Farshore! This is a game I received last year around this time and for some reason I kept sitting on it without making a review... maybe I was overwhelmed with all the Everdell stuff I got all at once? 😅 But I finally sat down to share my thoughts on this game and I hope you find it useful if you're considering whether or not you'd like to add this game to your collection! (Before you pull the trigger though, maybe wait until next week when I compare Farshore and Everdell side-by-side and give you my recommendation on which one is the better game!) A big thank you to @tabletoptycoon4413 for sending Farshore my way!

Everdell is one of those classic games that I for some reason have never actually played. ‘Cute’ board game art has never really been my thing but I’m a big fan of a lot of the mechanics in this game and I’m sure I would love it. I’m looking forward to the follow-up video to this, there are just too many boardgames! I have started to build back up my collection since a big move and I’m going to try to limit myself to 20 and we’ll see how long I can live my life with this restriction 😂 .
Can I also say I really appreciate the seagull sounds in this video, thanks Dave!

Thanks for the review! New to gaming and this one and Everdell both caught my eye.

I really appreciate your reviews. I had no interest in Farshore, but I still wanted to hear your review-thanks! Also, really dig the panning camera shot of the game at 14:45.

Hey Dave! Excellent review of Farshore!! As you know I am a mega-fan of Everdell as well and I think we share similar feelings towards the game in general. I’m really curious what you think of Farshore vs Everdell, because I think it’s quite an interesting comparison and one that is unavoidable in board gaming land! I enjoyed my plays of Farshore with the addition of the ship track and maps scoring, which definitely changed how I usually approach Everdell. I love the look of the game as well - it harkens back to the Everdell vibe for sure. This may slightly give away how I feel 😅 but in a vacuum, Farshore is a splendid game, but I’ll wait until your next video to share my other thoughts with Everdell! 🥰

I finally picked this up at GenCon this year. Played it for the first time a couple weeks ago. Great game! Really improves on the [few] weak points of Everdell. Helps that I got it for the 8/10 value, instead of the 6.5. 😅 I do miss the Bosley art, though. The new art is close, but missing that extra bit of charm.
