Oh my goodness–somehow I neglected to mention the differences in the solo modes between these two games! In Everdell, you play against Rugwort who simply plays a card every time you do (determined by the roll of a D8), claims events, and blocks spaces. 🐀 Rugwort is extremely easy to manage and the solo rules only take up two pages! In Farshore, you play against Bonny Redclaw who has her own deck of cards and places workers based on the locations shown on that card. 🦀 In addition, Bonny has a plan card that prioritizes certain colors to allow her access to the map tiles more quickly and depending on the difficulty level there are also weather cards that negatively impact your gameplay (but not hers). The Farshore solo rules take up five pages and are much more involved than in regular Everdell so that'll be something to consider if you're a solo gamer! Don't forget you can check out my solo playthrough for Farshore (link in the description) to get a better idea of how Bonny Redclaw plays! ☺

Fabulous review. I (rather naively) rushed out and bought Farshore and then...regretted it because it was SO similar (by reading the rules and watching a video). However, i have a gaming group and think that we'll have fun with Farshore since it's a tiny bit lighter and quicker and some folks need that. We'll see!

Great job. An excellent tool for deciding whether to buy or not.

Great B roll! Looks amazing. ☺️
Thank you for confirming what I already suspected.

New Leaf is a great expansion! 😊. Mistwood gives some great alternative Farm cards and a better solo mode! Plus, play as spiders with their asymmetric character card! 😊

I kind of wish that Farshore was just another expansion for base Everdell. Would be much more likely to get it.
