The few times I've played it (with my admittedly competitive group), we've always gone through the entire deck. If a group of 4 isn't getting through the deck, it means people aren't calling card draw/card selection enough, and may be plopping down suboptimal cards just to use what they have.

I would also recommend Wingspan, but it's not the same style of game. Everdell felt a lot like Agricola, but less punishing and more fair about card availability and variance.

Interesting - I only played it irl a few times with someone else's copy but I do have the digital version and we were having similar issues (including with quite experienced players of other games) - not to doubt your experience in any way. I might try playing on advanced AI if I have time and see if that makes a difference.

Because we do have one of our online group who is a massive fan but unfortunately it doesn't really gel with any of the rest of us do it would be cool if we could find 'a way in'
