Evenglow Review: A Beautiful Light Strategy Game

About Evenglow, from BoardGameGeek:

Deep in the Evenglow Forest hides an ancient grove where the ground is imbued with a mystery that allows it to grow the most peculiar of plants. These mystical plants carry with them the power to create potions that can alter reality and grant magical abilities to all that taste them. But, this sacred and mysterious ground has an odd secret that only the alchemists who till the soil know. For these plants to grow, balance is required. For the power to manifest, the alchemist must harness the power of both Sunlight and Moonlight. EvenGlow is a light strategy game where you become one of these alchemists tending your gardens in this mysterious grove. Through careful planning, you'll plant tiles in both your Sunlight and Moonlight gardens, mirroring each placement to create balance. Different plant types require different configurations to thrive, and some can be used to create potions that can speed you on your journey. After a certain number of rounds, you'll add up the points from your Sunlight and Moonlight gardens, and the player with the highest score wins! Turns are simultaneous with the active player choosing two plants for themselves and two that all other players will receive. Pairs of plants must then be placed in mirror opposite positions of the garden, one in sunlight and the other in moonlight. Evenglow features gorgeous watercolor art from Clémentine Campardou (Wyrmspan, Origin Story).
