Second time we played 2 player and two automa a much better experience since more from the game gets revealed. The sticker is ruined. Thanks Derrek! Thanks Kim!

While I dont necessarily have a genre checklist, I try to avoid doing something Ive already done. They make reusable stickers. Im not against legacy games (I have 2 of them), but I am still hoping that someone will make a great legacy game that can be fully reset. Jamey, arent the rules for Automa here (at least in part): https://stonemaiergames.com/games/charterstone/rules/. Charterstone is about all about buildings, opening crates, amassing resources, gaining influence points and victory points through a wide variety of objectives and goals.

Charterstone is a board game for 1-6 players designed by Jamey Stegmaier and released by Stonemaier Games in 2017.Players work together over a twelve game campaign to build a village, while simultaneously competing to win each game, and ultimately win the campaign. Even choices that were entirely story driven managed to have (what appears to be) game-play consequences for Game #12! So here it is. When that happens, one of those crates will be unlocked, and the other will remain permanently unlocked. We have never played a legacy game before. I **strongly** hope that youve got some writers working on some story level paragraphs for those decision points.

Adrien: Sure, Ill continue to reveal what I can in small doses between now and the release. We will dive into Game #5 tonight and it will be with the Automas. I'm thinking of buying this game to play with a group of friends, but it might be awhile before they're ready to tackle it. Thank you, Nicholas! Thanks for your feedback, Tim, and Im sorry you had that experience. Bianca: Were making plenty of copies, so there should be ample copies available post release.

This game is ridiculously fun! Was thinking Scythe could be the next one to try out? I like the legacy mechanics I have seen in other games so far (though no so much the ones that just add a new rule to each game), and feel like theres a lot of interesting ground to be explored in this space.

The fact that you designed a game that gets better each time you play it just blows my mind. Thank you Jamey!

(his first time playing) So, we still had some fun playing a Stonemaier game! When I posted that we spent more time dealing with stickers and learning rules rather than developing any form of strategy or simply PLAYING the game, I was telling the truth. village building I looked at the form, on which you asked for the entire set of cards, but thats impossible. Its going to be really tight. My question is if I played through the whole of Charterstone as one player, will the resulting game only be playable by one player, or will I be left with a game that can also be played by more players without being unbalanced ? :) Also, one of the reasons we included metal coins in the game is related to something you saideven if you stop playing Charterstone at some point, you still have something useful you can use in other games. Thanks Nick! I see. Please let me know!! Since this is a legacy-game, it begged . Charterstone is still on a boat, so No one will have it at the convention.

Hey Stegmaier family, just opened my new copy of Charterstone for the first time, and I just want to say how much I love the organization, clean graphic design, easy to start instructions and creative index box storage. Which way do you want to go?. Theyre might be dumb but Im new to Legacy games. On the first page of the Charterstone rules, it instructs you to check the FAQ for any rules updates or clarifications (you can go look at the FAQ now if you want).

Those 12 worker meeples are among those components. It wont be released until October at best. Essen is four days away will take my chances with Matagot I couldnt find a pre-order on their website. Charterstone is the first legacy-style board game from Jamey Stegmaier's Stonemaier Games, known for the hit strategy game Scythe. I know that is an additional expense, but I think it would be worth it. If you get a private objective that requires 3 tokens on the influence track then get a ghost and use it a few times. Now that IS intriguing! My girlfriend and I were having to avoid several very useful buildings for a long time thanks to how it worked! Lets say player B has a copy in similar condition from a different play group. 1 of each worker ? They exist: Theyre called campaign games. I love that youre considering making a recharge pack as well, so the experience can be had twice without needing to buy the entire game twice. After that the game is unusable and you need to buy it again to play. You start with two meeples, which you can place on the board to use buildings or gain resources, to build new buildings, or to open "crates . I do not have a gaming group and find the idea of legacy mechanics AWESOME, so even the hint that this might work for solo play is amazing. Fair enough! This isnt strictly necessary for me to enjoy the game, but it would be a +3 for me if its designed this way. Keep doing what you do as its always resulted in some really enjoyable and unique games. I hope you can make some of these Grinchs hearts grow, and know that there are those of us who love you for even attempting it, man. About this game.

Im very much looking forward to seeing this on the shelves. :) I would recommend checking out this group on Facebookits a spoiler-friendly zone for discussion (though you can indicate in the group how far along in the campaign you are so people wont spoil anything that happens afterwards). We just love viticulture. When are the next batch of ambassador shirts being offered. Looks really nice. :-). Would be interested in being a blind play tester.

Charterstone is a legacy village building that you build your own city based on how you and/or your friends play it. We are sitting down now for game 11 in Charterstone and read through the player manual for Wingspan last night so we can play that next. The game was a lot of fun, compounded by the unusual goal (per the guidepost) which created some odd plays. One thing Id add to the conversation is that Id prefer the stickers are very sticky. One possible and easy way to give people that are shy about this type of game extra incentive to try it might be to make the board double sided, and let people buy a 2nd kit that is just the stickers and extra stuff from this site so that at least they can play it twice.
