This is a bit random and not what I usually do.

Also if a game like this DOES exist, then let me know in the comments.

Number 1: Everdell as a farming cozy game

A cozy videogame farming game where you get to be one of those cute animals from picture books living under a tree or a rock or something.

You know what I mean! Cute beds made from tiny boxes or storages of berries in baskets. Basically the Everdell Board Game only as a farming game like Stardew valley or a town rebuilding game. It'd be so CUTE!

Number 2: Cute spoopy games

I can't wait long enough for Haunted Chocolatier but I'd like more videogames with cute ghosts. Maybe we play as a cute ghost who goes around doing fun ghost stuff? Idk. I'm tired of scary games and want more spooky cozy games with cute animations! Like Love, Ghostie!

Number 3: Medieval Sims

Yes I know the sims 3 had a medieval one that came out. It was the first sims game I played and it was okay. But I'd like a new version of it where it's truly just a fantasy/medieval games of the sims instead of a weird rpg sims hybrid. It doesn't even have to be from the sims! It could be any game that lets you basically create a family in a fantasy/medieval world with dragons and cool stuff.

Number 4: Dating Romance Games without Routes

This may be unpopular of an idea but I really loved how Obey Me never had routes because you got to learn and get to know the characters before choosing your favorites/preferences. Usually in dating games you get a short introduction then are expected to just pick, which I never really loved since it also meant every choice I make is always going to surround the love interest and never just something I want the character to try.

Time Needed: 45-60 minutes

Number of Players: 1-4 (base game)

Replayability: Yes

Complexity: 9/10

Click-clacks: 10000000/10 (I want to eat them)

To say this game is fun is an understatement. We’ve been playing this game pretty much every evening for the last month or two with no signs of stopping (we even got one of the expansions since I first drafted this post). Welcome to the first of Everdell. The point of the game is to build a city of Constructions and Critters, each having their own unique action and point value. The player with the most points at the end wins.

You collect resources throughout the game: rocks, berries, sticks, and resin. With these resources, you are able to play Constructions and Critters into your city. This is largely a game of players working on their own city independently to be the winner overall, rather than directly impacting each other in a competitive gameplay experience. There are a few ways to get in your opponent’s way, but we’ve found that this game is just plain relaxing.

We highly recommend this game and if you can’t get your hands on the board game itself, we’ve also found that the app version is just as fun (at $10 in the App Store currently, this is a steal).

Everdell is good for all ages and learning the mechanics is easy, even if it looks daunting. Believe us, we taught Megan’s dad and Will’s niece and nephew to play over the weekend.
