Tycoon Games (via Tabletop Tycoon) continues to expand the Everdell universe with a very promising new addition: Everdell: Silverfrost, a standalone game that is both strategic and thematic, set in a snowy landscape.
What the announcement reveals
Silverfrost is part of the “Edge of the Map” series within the Everdell world: it takes place beyond the Spirecrest mountains, in a cold region south of the valley.
There are two versions available: the Collector’s Edition (with premium components) and the Essential Edition (more affordable, with cardboard components).
The game introduces new mechanics compared to classic Everdell:
-
Snow covers cards and locations: you’ll need to spend Fire to clear it, adding tactical pressure.
-
One of your workers is designated as a Ranger, with unique abilities—such as visiting already-occupied locations or earning Fire.
-
Instead of Events, the game introduces Quests:
-
Highland Quests are visible to all players and provide significant rewards.
-
Lowland Quests are personal, unique to each player.
-
-
A Beacon mechanism allows players to spend Fire to light beacons and call upon Big Critters, powerful creatures that provide support.
-
Chimneys allow you to play Critters more freely, as long as you have enough Fire.
Visually, Silverfrost includes a 3D mountain board in certain editions, enhancing the winter immersion.
The game is designed by James & Clarissa A. Wilson, with artwork by Lukas Siegmon.
A solo mode is included, designed by Chrissy & Tom Peske.
The release date announced by some retailers (such as World of Games) is November 2025.
For the French edition, publisher Matagot is planning a release around March 2026.
Why Silverfrost could be a major asset
-
Strategic renewal: the introduction of snow and fire forces players to plan differently than in classic Everdell.
-
Strong winter theme: you truly feel the cold, the struggle against nature, and the importance of keeping your city warm.
-
Replayability: the quests (Highland vs. Lowland) and the beacon-summoned Big Critters offer varied strategies.
-
Attractive components: the Collector’s Edition appears very rich, ideal for players who love premium material.
Key points for Everdell fans
-
If you’re already an Everdell fan: Silverfrost offers a different experience (more “fight against the elements”) while keeping the core identity of the original game.
-
If you’re new to Everdell: Silverfrost is a great entry point, as it is a standalone game (you don’t need to own the base game).
-
For solo players: the solo mode looks well designed, with the new mechanics of fire, snow, and beacons.
Conclusion: Everdell: Silverfrost is an exciting announcement from Tycoon Games, bringing a winter atmosphere, innovative mechanics, and refreshed strategy. For existing Everdell fans, it’s a new gateway into the universe. For newcomers, it’s an appealing standalone adventure.
