EverMerge review

EverMerge takes the sandbox route. Rather than a grid of levels, it gives you one wide-open board where you drag, merge and arrange pieces as you like, clearing a cursed fog to grow a magical kingdom. Merging three of a kind gives a boost and waiting for five gives a bigger bonus, which rewards planning. Fairy-tale characters such as Cinderella, Peter Pan and Sleeping Beauty ask for mansions and quests, and the Mystic Isle habitat adds dragons, griffins and unicorns. Resources come from mining stone, chopping wood and harvesting crops, and seasonal events and daily recipes keep the board changing. The App Store rates it 4+ and purchases start at $1.99, though the listing shows advertising. We only confirmed iPhone and iPad availability, and the open board takes longer to learn than Travel Town. It ranks ninth for those reasons, but it is the right pick for players who want control over their layout. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not build a full kingdom.
