Should you buy Stardew Valley: The Board Game?
This is a gloriously translated farming board game for 1-4 Players that stays true to the original video game’s whole relaxed vibe. Usually, one person will take on the role as the Miner or the Fisherperson, since upgrading their tools will get them some bonuses. The most major difference to note between the board game and video game versions is how you tackle the mine. Working though just 12 mine levels, you roll dice to see what you get, with better tools allowing you to shift along the grid to gain different items.
It’s a game of reaping what you sow, and that includes the affections for your favorite romanceable NPCs from the Stardew Valley video game. The board is constantly shifting, with forgeable items and trees that regrow, as well as an ever-changing array of fish to reel in.
There’s a lot to love about Stardew Valley: The Board Game, and although it’s not a one-to-one perfect translation of the video game it’s certainly a lot more of a communal event than playing the video game together. Plus, you can get your grandma involved.
