OVERVIEW

For the last 99 years, the critters of

Everdell have been hard at work
building cities in their beloved
valley. Now it is time to celebrate!
The king and queen are throwing an
unprecedented year-long event to
commemorate the 100th year since
Everdell’s founding. Come one, come
all! Come and celebrate the Bellfaire!

Bellfaire offers a number of different

modules and components that you
may include when playing Everdell,
such as a flat board that can be used
in place of the Ever Tree, new Special
Events, endgame Garland Awards,
unique player powers for each critter
type, rules for 5-6 players, and more!
