Read the full game description
Yonder is a mid-weight worker-placement game about founding a settlement beside a mysterious city. Over five rounds, players deploy goblins, ogres, dwarves, elves, and skeletons to gather resources, produce food, construct buildings, launch ships, and complete contracts. Each species has a different strength, and workers may visit rivals’ buildings, so every placement balances efficiency with the opportunities it gives the table.
