History TabletopGame / StardewValley

* NintendoHard: Thanks to the RandomNumberGod and the compressed gameplay, the game can be brutally difficult. Even when things are going the players' way, the game still demands efficiency.
-->'''Eric Barone:''' It's easy to play once you learn the rules, but it's not a short, casual game.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Caroline has no gifts she likes, due to the removal of cooking as a mechanic in this game.

* AdaptedOut: While the Museum makes an appearence in the game, its curator, Gunther, does not. Similarly, Marlon and Gil do not appear, although the players still explores the Mines. Kent also does not appear due to the short timespan of the game. They may be mentioned in some event cards but fail to make a physical appearance.

* BigBad: Jojamart takes a more actively villainous role in this game by placing restrictions on what the players can do. For example, they can get a law passed to require a fishing license for mountain fishing, limiting the player's ability to catch fish, or limiting the water the player can use, forcing them to water only some crops.

* FishingForSole: Among the things that can clutter up the Fishing track is boots.

* VanillaUnit: The Wizard. He does not dislike any gifts, but he doesn't like any gifts either, and befriending him gives no extra benefit that is not standard among all friendships.

* RandomNumberGod: Every game has random goals in the form of Grandpa's letters, and much of the game relies on dice rolls.

* PragmaticAdaptation: The game condenses much of the video game's mechanics. For instance, players only need to give villagers a gift on their birthday that they like to make them friendly enough to marry.
