Description

Evergreen: Pines and Cacti is a thrilling expansion for the popular base game Evergreen, designed by Hjalmar Hach and released in 2023. This set of two modular expansions introduces two new types of plants that add a fresh layer of complexity and fun to the game. With easy-to-learn rules, 1 to 4 players can dive into a 45-minute game that's perfect for puzzle enthusiasts. The expansions bring new powers to the table, but be mindful that each new addition means removing an existing power to keep the game balanced. The new plants, pines and cacti, interact with light and shadow in unique ways, requiring players to adapt their strategies. Pines thrive in the shadows, growing from small to big when the sun isn't shining, while cacti need plenty of sunlight to survive. If they're left in the shadows at the end of a season, they'll wither away. With the combination of card drafting, bias, and end-game bonuses, players must carefully consider their moves to make the most of these new additions. Whether you're a seasoned Evergreen player or new to the game, Evergreen: Pines and Cacti offers a fun and challenging experience that's sure to delight.
