Become a Stonemaier Champion to save 20% on every webstore order. Thanks Nick! 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. Thanks,guys! The one and only thing I will miss after completing story is opening chests, I think for my whole group it was the single best thing ever. Do you mind sending me some pictures to Joe@StonemaierGames.com? When youre ready to play again, could you send me an email at jamey@stonemaiergames.com? So, make the board a 2-layer cardboard with the upper layer having punch holes, in which building-tokens can be snugly fitted .

Thus, a few available buildingssoon grow intoa bustling village with dozens of actions. 2. Is this legit? Hi there Jamey! You can also choose to have Automa represent any number of inactive factions if you want it to feel like youre competing against more than just one other player. Im the lead designer for Charterstone, and Morten Monrad Pedersen and David Studley will be assisting me with the solo version of it. Ive played through it twice with different groups and people, and Im looking forward to playing it again when it comes online. :). Bekah: Thanks for your note! the nice board looks so emty with only two, or is the pic missleading? :). This game sounds awesome, and would be my first foray into a Legacy game! Thank you! So the face-up advancement and objective cards at the start of Game 2 are drawn from all those revealed during Game 1? I would love to be a playtester for this one and think I could bring 2 different groups to bear (one more seasoned and another more casual). Definitely! They have their copies in, have taken my money, and have a copy with my name on it ready for pickup. Because every single card had been printed backwards!!! The overall feel and look of the game. We are making sure that the stickers on the board dont overlap with the folds on the board (so you can fold up the board without issues). :) Legacy requires permanent changesthings that cannot be undone. I highly recommend that you do not download or read this material until after you have completed the campaign! Hi Jamie, I wish I had opted for the physical copy instead. Hi Brittany. It was also enlightening to discover that were apparently big fans of Stonemaier games we didnt realize that until after we were obsessed with Charterstone, and my wife pointed out that Stonemaier Games also made Viticulture and Wingspan. Then, when I started looking more closely, I realized that you designed both Charterstone and Viticulture, of which were also huge fans (10 minutes ago we finished playing Viticulture, Tuscany expansion with special structures AND special workers).

Ill see if I can get a French Copy in mid december, and cancel my april English pre-order, if the price is reasonnable. I was already hyped, no Im impatient to pu my hands on it !

I **am** hoping that there will be a unique world feel to the design of the game that will show in the names of the buildings and the materials and things we will be building that will to some extent feel different from the standard goods and buildings of normal Earth-bound games (Catan, Castles of Burgundy, etc.) Roll the dice! I am a gamer and a collector, this means normally i try to keep my games in a prestine contition as long as possible, this means i use card sleeves and all avalable protectors for my games ( and yes, sleeves make my games much more expensive, but i know the benefit of having card sleeves). The prosperous Kingdom of Greengully, ruled for centuries by the Forever King, has issued a decree to its citizens to colonize the vast lands beyond its borders. Sadly that was my reaction as well..after cursing Jamey for keeping me in the poor house from his awesomeness :P. OOH, Whats this now? Euphoria didnt take as longit was about 9 months from start to printer. If you place a Chef, you will gain an Influence from the General Supply (if possible), before you pay the cost of the Building. The first (i.e., pie bylands), makes sense to me. 1. To develop a completely new design using a legacy/campaign system is a huge task and I wish you well Jamey. I have to say, both this game and Viticulture has caught my eye and I definitely have an interest in potentially getting this game. I was also thinking of getting a unbuilt building from the advancement deck of equal value and just replace the spot with that (and return the card with the unopened box back to the deck.) Thats good to hear. If you dont want to play with just 2 players, you can add an automa into the game. I dont know if I should post here but I need advice! Were now up to 28 plays.

Mirjam: Thank you for letting me know! Of course, we are hoping to have 6 human players next time, so. Its great that we can continue playing Charterstone and I actually think the final game is stronger than the legacy part. Well thats just awesome! That was fantastic, this was my first jump into a Legacy style game. Heath: That is one of the reasons I recommend playing with the same people from start to finishyou have to learn more rules if you jump into the middle of the campaign. Thats an interesting idea. Both my wife and I cannot wait for our copy to arrive. Im worried I will get into dumb fights with my friends over the rule of law in the book. He absolutely loved it and the whole family always looked forward to a Charterstone day. I hear you dont like repetitive games. We just finished game 8 and already purchased a recharge pack. Was thinking Scythe could be the next one to try out? So I lost. Now that IS intriguing! Heather: Im a bit biased, but yes, I think Charterstone is a great place to start, as it starts off so simple and adds complexity over time. Can you show us some more by the time ? Id love to do a mod on Tabletop Simulator for testing. I hope you do through with it :). Each game they will unlock new buildings, meet new goals, and even add new rules to the game.

She won even though the goal for the game was something that I was more successful in (if that makes any sense). I hope you enjoy the game! I was up very late last night (too late, perhaps) writing my review of the game. I also have trouble justifying spending money on legacy games that you get rid of afterwards so I was over the moon when I found your board game that would allow me to play it after the set amount of games. Covid-19 lock-down, was a perfect opportunity for playing board games. Didnt you win Scythe with 127 points the other day? You always control exactly 1 character (you are that character). 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 ? I realize its a long shot, but any plans to make any kind of expansion for it? We played Game #2 without the Automa. Like I said love the game. Did you report the bug to the developer (Acram Digital) so they can fix it? Its sometimes hard for us to have the games that are delivered in France by Matagot here in Quebec, sometimes we have to wait an other 6 monthes. I see.

Once the 12 campaign is done, you can either: play a new campaign on the other side or the other board by buying the recharge and/or play the one youve built as a normal worker placement game over and over again right meaning its unlike other legacy games that there are instances that a component gets destroyed, you need to buy a whole new game right?
