The best part of getting a new board game for me is opening the box and pushing out all the brand new pieces. If you’re like me, don’t fear because Stardew Valley gives you plenty of them! On your first playthrough, you will need to sort the pieces into the various trays and bags provided. Now you can start to set up the game.
Stardew Valley: The Board Game is a beautiful, brightly coloured game of farming and friendship. Players take on the roles of up to four farmers starting out in Stardew Valley-a small town of friendly residents and an abundance of natural resources. Also, some of Grandpa’s Goals work better together than others. If you get the ‘Raise Animals’ goal, then you’ll need to build a barn, which is great if you also have the ‘Build Buildings’ goal. That’s two for the price of one. But if you get the expensive ‘Raise Animals’ with the ‘Save Money’ goal, that’s going to be a lot of gold required to win the game! Experimenting with combinations of Grandpa’s Goals will have a big impact on the difficulty of any given game. Which brings us to… Homebrew And House Rules Hearts can also be obtained by donating Artifacts or Minerals to the Museum run by Gunther. Filling the slots in the Museum can also earn up to 2 Epic Items. Stardew Valley: The Board Game is a cooperative board game which includes the likes of farming and friendship. The board game is based off of the well known Stardew Valley video game by Eric Barone, and the gameplay follows a similar storyline to this.We’re setting up a section in the forum for conversation and questions specific to the board game. Please post questions there and we’ll do our best to answer them.
Now, I know what you’re thinking, “Isn’t Stardew a slow, chill farming social game?”. Yes, you’re right but the board game takes that and throws it on its head and makes it a race against time where you have to finish a certain amount of difficult tasks that take time and concentration to get done. I know that might put some people off, but this is no small game. The game takes up to 2 hours to complete and is constant planning and resource management but with a theme like this how can you hate that!

Today I’m very excited to announce something special: today we release the official Stardew Valley Board Game! This is the very first merchandise project where I’m acting as publisher from start to finish. I’m a fan of the original, but I’m more of a board gamer than a video gamer, and Stardew Valley: The Board Game scratches a very specific itch. It’s a game for when you need to get away from the stress of daily life and challenge yourself with something different, something new. It’s a game for when you’re in dire need of a change…
To obtain hearts, players must make friends with the other villagers in Town. Spend 1 action in Town to turn over a Villager card. Each Villager will tell you what types of gifts they love and hate by the left and right hand sides of their card. Stardew Valley: The Board Game has one crucial difference from the original. The video game was all about taking time to explore the world. You could dedicate hours to fishing at the lake and never worry about the mines or the community centre. But the board game is a tight race to the finish line and wasting time at the lake isn’t an option when there are animals to rear and crops to be harvested.
The game ends with victory when the players complete all 10 of their objectives (4 Grandpa’s Goals and 6 Community Centre rooms) or with defeat when the final season card is drawn. First, place the board in the middle of the table and beside it the Stardew dice, animal dice and spouse pawn. Make sure that you leave plenty of space around the board. Shuffle the villagers, items, epic items, events, and mine events cards. If you’re a fan of the original video game then you’ll be sure to love the board game too as it has all the charm and fun carried over and makes it all new again, so you get to experience all of it again like the first time playing. That isn’t to say that you need to have played the video game before. You don’t have to have any idea what a Junimo or Joja cola is before you can enjoy this brilliant game. It is beautifully designed and can be appreciated with or without any prior knowledge of the Stardew Valley universe. Set Up
