After the Great Disasters, a new chapter in Sylvan Dale’s history has begun. The Elders have called on you and your fellow architects to design a new woodland realm—a haven perched in the high embrace of the Great Trees. Guide the builders of Sylvan Dale as they construct dwellings, bridges, and hanging courtyards.

Builders of Sylvan Dale, designed by Peter Ridgeway, is a unique three-dimensional tile placement game. Play a card and place a new dwelling on top of the ever-taller trees in the forest. Collect sets of cards to gain special actions, such as building bridges or magically growing treetops. Get your dwellings to stand out high on the trees, above those of your rivals, and be forever remembered as the greatest architect of Sylvan Dale!

The game is played in two rounds. In each round, every player has half of tiles to place on the trees, trying to gain prestige and collect the highest number of fame points. At the end of each round, you determine which player has preeminence in each tree and each district into which the board is divided, and fame points are calculated. The player with the highest total amount of fame points at the end of the scoring phase wins.

Builders of Sylvan Dale is guaranteed to be charming and engaging for all kinds of players, casual and expert gamers alike.

Richard E. ★★★★★

The cooperative building mechanic really shines—my group loves how the shared objectives force us to plan ahead together. First game took about 45 minutes after setup, which felt just right for a weeknight session.

Madison ★★★★★

Finally, a board game where the theme actually shapes the gameplay—the woodland realm building feels genuinely strategic, not just decorative. The replay value is huge because each session’s Elder call changes how you approach your design. We’ve already played it three nights in a row.

Robert B. ★★★★★

The “high embrace” theme really comes through in the card art and the way the Elder cards tie into the disaster recovery mechanic. I’ve played three times now and each game feels like a fresh puzzle to rebuild the woodland.
