Charterstone

In the prosperous Kingdom of Greengully, which has been ruled by the Eternal King for centuries, residents are given the task of expanding the land by colonizing nearby areas. In order to establish a new village, the Eternal King has selected 6 inhabitants for this task. Each resident has unique skills that they can use when building their 'charter'.

Charterstone is a competitive legacy game. You erect buildings and populate a shared village. Building stickers are permanently added to the game board and become action spaces that can be used by everyone. At the beginning of the game you start with simple choices and a few workers, but soon you have a busy village with dozens of possible actions.

Your journey will last 12 games, but it doesn't end there. Your finished village will be a unique worker-placement game with plenty of variety. Charterstone offers the following:
– A streamlined rulebook: learn as you play and add rules as you unlock content
– Elements of engine building (building an engine) in every game and for the duration of the entire campaign
– A storyline with branches where short-term decisions have long-term consequences
– A secret feature that can only be found in one other board game
– 75+ openable 'chests': 36 metal coins, 350+ unique cards and 230+ wooden tokens (exactly 12 of each resource: wood, coal, grain, stone, iron and pumpkin)
