Everdell: Bellfaire – Starling Games – Review. Slap slap slap! Corvid Conspiracy:These murderous crows are basically feathered terrorists. Since Leder Games’ release of Root in 2018, the base game and various expansions have quickly soared through the board game ranks. The cats watch in amazement, and even the mole stops hopping to watch as a dead-eyed crow stomps into the clearing, carrying something concealed in his dirty cloak.
