Everdell vs Root

Everdell
Everdell is a worker placement and tableau-building game set in a whimsical forest world. Players lead a group of critters to build a city by gathering resources, constructing buildings, and welcoming new residents. The game features a dynamic worker placement system where the number of workers available increases over time.
Root
Root is an asymmetrical game where players take on different woodland factions with completely different play styles. The Marquise de Cat rules the forest, the Eyrie Dynasties seeks to reclaim their throne, the Woodland Alliance plots revolution, and the Vagabond plays both sides. Each faction has its own victory condition and unique mechanics.
