The Forever Sea is calling...
The rugged coast north of Everdell Valley is a land brimming with adventure and mystery. Stalwart sailors search for bountiful islands and valuable treasures. Dutiful monks inhabit abbeys and scriptoriums, meticulously translating and illuminating. Hard-working folk gather resources and build their cities in unison with the ever-changing waves of the mighty ocean.
Welcome to Everdell Farshore, a standalone game set in the country of Farshore. Through each season, you lead a crew of critter workers to build up a prosperous city and to explore the enchanting ocean beyond. You must plan your actions carefully in order to build and to sail, for only by adapting to the winds of change will you succeed.
The wind is high. The sun is breaking the horizon. It is time to set sail for adventure!

- original Everdell
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Chaining cards — In the original Everdell, you could sometimes chain cards together, but only if you had two very specific cards, and sometimes those cards didn't come out in the deck, and it was really annoying and frustrating. Whereas, Farshore changes it. So, you can do that three times during the game with anything. You can chain three different things together.
