Stardew Valley: The Board Game

Stardew Valley: The Board Game is a board game based on the video game Stardew Valley, designed by Eric Barone and Cole Medeiros and published by ConcernedApe. Released in 2021, the game follows the plot of the video game. It is a cooperative game that allows up to four players, including the option to play alone.

Gameplay
Stardew Valley: The Board Game has players rebuilding the Community Center by completing Grandpa's objectives and collecting different types of resources represented by tiles. The game usually takes 45–200 min to complete.

Players take turns choosing a profession for themselves at the beginning of the game. They then choose which tool they want and receive all the tool cards associated with that tool. Each player, in turn, starts from one of seven places on the board. The other currency in the game is Hearts. One way to earn hearts is to perform the Make Friends in Town action. Three Hearts are needed to complete the Community Center pack. The game continues until you reveal the fourth Winter card. If the objectives and packages are completed the game is over.

Reception
IGN's Matt Thrower praised the game, stating that it was "packed with cute artwork and a satisfying sense of building from scratch." Polygons Petrana Radulovic found Stardew Valleys board game very good, stating that the game was random and more challenging than the video game.
