In this episode of The Gateway Gamers Podcast, Bryan Marvel and Rp dive into Everdell: Duo, the latest Everdell adventure from Starling Games! This scaled-down version of the beloved tableau-building and worker-placement game Everdell brings the charm, strategy, and adorable woodland creatures to an intimate head-to-head experience.

We discuss how Everdell: Duo differs from the original, what makes it stand out among other two-player board games, and how it fits into the growing trend of big-box games getting two-player adaptations (looking at you, 7 Wonders Duel, King Of Tokyo Duel, and more!). Is this a must-have for couples and gaming duos, or should you stick to the original?

Join us as we break down the gameplay, mechanics, components, and replayability—all while keeping it fun, engaging, and perfect for both casual gamers and hobbyists.
