So you want to play Stardew Valley: The Board Game. If you're familiar with the video game, you'll get the premise. If you haven't played it, you're a new farm owner in Stardew Valley making new friends in town, unlocking bundles to improve the Community Center, and harvesting products to sell. There's a lot you can do in the world! How do you truly make Stardew Valley and Pelican Town a better place?

This guide will help you out with some tips and tricks to make the best of your time.

1. The game's action economy is pretty important! You never want to waste your actions, and this is super important to optimize your gameplay. In the same vein, you're going to want to choose your occupation and tools based on your goals. Foraging along the way is also incredibly useful to pick up extra helpful resources while completing other tasks! The route you take helps you make the most of your actions.
2. Reveal your bundles as soon as possible (and don't take too many trips to do it). You can reveal and complete as many bundles as possible in one action, so try to maximize your trips to the Community Center. Revealing multiple bundles in a turn is the way to go!
3. Animals are really only good for goals, so try not to prioritize them too heavily! They aren't the real money makers in the game.

Sound interesting? Grab your copy and some sleeves for the game components and take to the town! You'll want five packs of red sleeves and five packs of grey sleeves from Phantom Sleeves to get started.
