Starling Games Everdell Complete Collection

Product Information

I’m really annoyed by the lack of intellectual honesty in this debate, people telling that we are hating on people having a good deal, when our loyalty is just not being considered. I wanted to get in on Everdell about a year ago, but I saw somewhere that a big box option was coming on their next KS so I decided to wait. If you love Everdell then this is a must have, so much so I sold my base copy of the game and 2 x expacs to get this instead. To piggyback on Adam’s point some, I do wonder if this could hinder it’s possibility to truly evergreen.

I have looked at the current expansions and thought they are too expensive for the amount of content. I also came across one where I left because there was an early bird, even though there were 20 left.Featuring deluxe components, including the shiny metal point tokens and the wooden Ever Tree, this Complete Collection is the ultimate edition of Everdell. Glenn: My take on early bird rewards on Kickstarter projects is that it creates winners and losers *within the backer community that is bringing the game to life. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. KS has recently launched their addon tool, which can help manage this but it is still less effective than having the items built into rewards, and where perhaps Gamefound functionality would be better suited for this type of campaign.

And the pricing structure you mention means that now, the second hand market here is literally flooded now with people selling their copies so they can go all in on The Complete Edition. And as much as I want the whole world to enjoy Everdell, I feel like they don’t appreciate the backers who were there to start this amazing journey with them. There’s is gonna be an issue for retailers around the Christmas period and the beginning of 2022, Starling games is creating this. At this point, backing a major boardgame on Kickstarter is not a risk in the way backing a startup or an independent film is, so you are simply paying for the privilege of having it first. The product doesn’t exist yet, so why would someone who happens to hear about it on hour 2 pay less than someone who hears about it on hour 49 of the same campaign?For those users sort of “stuck” in the middle of having a few Everdell items but not everything, they’ll need the two new expansions but also some of the older ones. Disappointed that those of us who have been “all in” from the beginning to help make this game as popular as it has become are being tossed aside like yesterday’s news…. I suppose you could argue that by reworking Lancashire it is doing the same thing, but somehow it feels different.

In a perfect world all publishers could give us a road map for upcoming releases (one of the reasons I love SM). But for the consumer it also means that they need to bring everything out each time they want to play even only part of the expansions or just the base game. Cars, video games, board games, and almost every product can be bought later for cheaper if you wait. So I just recently played the game for the first time a little over a month ago with the pearl expansion( cant remember the full name of the expansion). I have copies of the base game plus all expansions (but not all of them are the Collections edition with the upgraded components).

Personally I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing the reward tier options I would have created if I was running the campaign, and with the limitations of the platform the 3 they offered were perhaps the best option when looking at the average requirements of a backer. Everdell is a streamlined worker placement game that features a detailed world realized through stunning artwork. None of the options feel really good because I don’t want to throw my nice boxes away and I don’t want to sell all the stuff later with needing to be extra careful with it now.
