Game #12 is done, and it was wonderful! Charterstone will be released in German by Feuerland in late 2017. 2. We are really looking forward to seeing how that is going to play out! What a great game! We have never played a legacy game. ;-). If you place a Butler, you will gain $1 from the General Supply (if possible), before you pay the cost of the Building. All of the advancement cards in the general supply (deck, mat, and discard pile) just form one cohesive deck, and at the beginning of each game youll shuffle it and reveal cards on the mat. Rules were well written (The ones that were there already :) ) which I find very annoying when you dont understand the game due to poorly written rules. The recharge pack sounds like a great idea. I was able to surprise my girlfriend with those. Your excitement is very encouraging for me as I continue to work on Charterstone. My wife Suzan and I played through the whole campaign and had a blast. What do you do with the advancement, objective and game 2 guidepost card once you have finished game 1 if you do not intend to play game 2 immediately? He can not stop talking about it. If the idea of a person living for centuries doesnt appeal to you, Charterstone wont either. Rolling Realms Promos. Just know that, depending upon the path you take, and what choices you make, you are in for one hell of a ride! Sorry for the late response. At the end of the legacy campaign some of the buildings arent as useful to have in a charter as others. We have completed round 5. Two things conflated to make this one an amazing game. Been a big fan of your games since I helped Kickstart Euphoria and I have the deluxo Scythe with expansion and getting the Meeples, etc,etc. Wow! Charterstone will have 85+ crates to unlock: 350+ unique cards, 230+ wooden tokens, and 36 metal coins. Congratulations on the game, Jamey, I have finished the campaign and it has been very exciting! You can see retailers in Germany/Europe that carry our realistic resources here. When that happens, one of those crates will be unlocked, and the other will remain permanently unlocked. :). Balanced. To a certain extent, I can understand where those people are coming from. Ill take some credit and give some credit. That being said I absolutely love this game and our group is having a blast! We obviously like the game. Can you direct us maybe? You can proceed forward without looking at the website. However there is no recharge pack in stock anywhere. Its meaningful to see it. (The FAQ link above takes us to a closed group.). :) In Charterstone, there is both a mechanism-driven story told by the players and an overarching story with interlocking, branching paths selected by the players. However, I think the digital version of Charterstone may already have some new elements, and if it continues to be successful, the digital developer may add more content to it over the years. 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. Thats an interesting idea. Ill be in touch when we get to that point. Automa end up with a rating 7 they had at the end no chance but are strong at the start, Finally we set up a new board from our experience and a second recharge pack for continouse play no charter will have a engine but all basic elements are on the board. Hi Brittany. Middle aged female ready here.Have played Scythe twice with no experience with those types of games. The lines for the German version (their booth at least) was impressive, too. I must say that you have given me quite a bit of prototyping components in the main box such that I dont plan on buying recharge kits. 3. Ill send you the link. There is no non-campaign mode. Would there possibly be fundamental differences in the strategies that are successful between the two copies? 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). We did have some trouble finding out how to enter our score, because in the Dutch version the link just goes to the retailers website. Would love to give this a playtest with my group! By the way were both really looking forward to the Scythe expansion this year. Would it be a problem to keep going or do we have to start over? This is a typo. So I can only hope that you will reach out to me via the web page linked by my name on the posts in this thread. I will end my current campaign soon, and I think that I have people for new campaign, but cannot find any Recharge pack here in Serbia in any board game store, also I am seeing that here Recharge pack is sold out. Thank you very much for getting us such a lovley game and I am really looking forward to play the finnished version with a 6 player group soon. What about pre-orders if its not on kickstarter? :). Euphoria didnt take as longit was about 9 months from start to printer. Can you bump someone from an income building or do you join them there to earn the income? Thanks! She *adores* the little pumpkins; I think those are awesome, but there is nothing like the heft of the iron ore tokens. Just a question on content will Charterstone contain any magic? Players are still doing things that are grounded in our world, thoughthat is, theyre not casting magical spells. :). 1. This kept the scores from flying through the roof. 3 copies is a lot, but if it makes you happy, thats what matters! Thanks for your enthusiasm! Are there any more games in the same vein that you could recommend? 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. I was thinking (if I house rule this for next time) I would use the same mechanism that is used for the Automa when it constructs buildings in the late game. Game #10 was interesting due to its structure, much of the strategy I had developed over the earlier games was not even possible! So thank you for that. 169. Thank you. But Thursday should be a relatively safe bet. Im trying not to include any spoilers in this review for anyone who hasnt played the game yet. However, I think I can cobble up six generic white card boxes and place the stickers on those for the case of overlapping campaigns. This card has an error on it. Thank you so much! So how will you fix Charterstone here? Theyre very active in the Charterstone Digital Facebook group they run: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CharterstoneDigital. Amazing job. Hi David! Bryan: Im glad to hear youre enjoying Viticulture and Scythe! Press Add to create a group, and then review your group and choose Close. With the art showing floating islands, and the concept of a Forever King, would it be fair to say this is a fantasy, or at least fairy tale, universe but with no spell casting (at least, castable spells by the playable characters?). All other copies are being shipped by ocean freight to various parts of the world, including the US, where the release date is in December. I dont get hyped easily, because its easy to make things look good, but much harder to actually create quality (after all, there are a lot more awesome trailers, than awesome movies). We feel that the LESS you know about Charterstone, the MORE youll enjoy the experience. Also, the stickers start on cards that must be shuffled, so even if vinyl stickers worked on the board, you wouldnt be able to put them back on the cards (which have important information on them). Patrick: Sure, I can update that. Analytical cookies are used to understand how visitors interact with the website. What are the metal coins made from, what kind of metal? You will now see a blank custom list on the screen. And if so, when might that be possible? Or, are we taking minor differences (something like player 2 gets a coin in one copy, player 3 in the other copy), but neither player would be at a disadvantage on the other players board? I would be willing to bump off one of these other potential playtesters so that I can have their spot. So the fundamental difference from copy to copy really depends on the combination of constructed buildings. We always use the Automa because they throw in a little randomness to simulate other oppenents and move the time clock along. Players have a sprawling tech tree of options to choose from as they build their charters, and the end of every game gives players a key choice to make that changes the next game or the permanent game rules. It's better that you score a consistent 5 glory than find yourself one short on points from another glory in the next game. Indeed, you can alter the player count each game as you wish. Looks really nice. can u buy another board? Is Charterstone playable if you play the first few games solo, then play with a group of 2-6 while still building the legacy part of the game? The first is that they tend to curl up at the edges, which doesnt look good and can catch on other components. Fair enough! . You could technically play with 6 Automas and no humans. Maybe add a bigger choose your own adventure part? I simply have no room for anything else in that tuck box. Game night wasnt completely ruined last night. Give your contact group a name. Yours was nothing like that. Two Runs Two sets of stickers? My wife is saving up for Viticulture and of course wine has its own magic of sorts and so do your games. I usually fullyverse myself with a games rules before I take a new game to our group. We just love viticulture. We can NOT wait for it! thanks for clarification. Im glad youve enjoyed the discovery and the additions to the game as you play. No, there are new punchboards in the recharge pack for that purpose. :). The fact that you designed a game that gets better each time you play it just blows my mind. Hey David, enjoy! It wont be released until October at best. the most fun game we have had since we started this journey. That may be how some legacy games work, but not Charterstone. I just register to your newsletter to be sure to not miss the kickstarter of this game. Were avid gamers, and especially fans of Jameys games. It took us *far* longer to play game #1 than advertised nothing against the game or anything, I was just incredibly nervous that I was going to do something wrong (this is our first attempt at a Legacy game). Any plans for a Charterstone 2? The replacement cards arrived today. You are a terrific designer. Very Rare. Thanks for the quick reply! 2. I am going to assume it was due to a possible spoiler included (though emailing me to explain that fact would have been helpful). Congrats on finishing Charterstone with your family! Played through the campaign with my partner over the course of a year and a half (lockdown got in the way unfortunately) and its hands-down one of the most well thought out and enjoyable experiences weve had. Ill pass it on to Acram Digital, the developers for the digital version. With Stonemaier/Stegmaiers track record, Ive come to expect quality games where thoughtful design and love shines through in numerous ways. Because every single card had been printed backwards!!! I dont know if I should keep on playing and build over it (it was the Pumpkin Market sticker) next time its my turn or do something else! Ive heard from a very small number of people that they are deeply offended by the idea of magic; for those people, Im sure theyll find something to be offended by in Charterstone, even if its not overtly described as magic in the game. Hi Jamey! Like I said love the game. Thank you. Its not a major thing though as we only had to do a bit of tinkering to sort out our board. My girlfriend is not quite sure how she felt about the inclusion of these two virtual players. 2. So how will you make sure that it isnt the same boring engine building every session. Enter a name, description, and email alias for your new group, and choose whether you want people outside your organization to send email to the group. If you are looking for a playtester with minimal experience to gain that perspective, Im your peep. I have picked up a recharge pack and was hoping to start another campaign with my family before we finish the first 12 games. I will post the question on BGG. If you want to play a few games to learn and then start playingt for real, you must buy a buy a new copy when you start real play. Gong Studios is the other artist team who contributed. And please keep in mind that any retailer can carry our games or opt into the listjust because theyre not on the list doesnt mean we dont sell to them through distributors. :). I love this quality to Above and Belows buildings it adds to that games world-building feel. Minion abilities are triggered first. The answer is simple: Permanence is powerful. * I have the Recharge Pack This home is currently off market - it last sold on September 01, 1998 for $132,000. Should I cancel my order and wait for the french version to arrive here, with having no idea of when its gona be?. Do you mind sending me some pictures to Joe@StonemaierGames.com? One, I am glad you are sticking it out. The overall feel and look of the game. Therefore, you may spend the Coin you receive from using a Butler, to pay the Cost of the Building where it was placed. * I have played the campaign You can keep playing either side after you finish the campaign, or you can buy another board from us. You have listed Houstons Asgard Games here in Texas as your local retail partner. I have signed up for an ambassador. 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). On our gift guide, I suggest Euphoria as a next step after Charterstone, as it includes some similar elements. Cant wait to receive my copy! Have you made a decision regarding the component upgrade pack yet, or are you still collecting data on that as well? Charterstone. If youre actually interested in Charterstone, just watch a review when theyre available and youll understand it better. My girlfriend and I were having to avoid several very useful buildings for a long time thanks to how it worked! Dave: Ive heard from 2 people who had a few cards that were miscut to the point that they couldnt see the icons/numbers on the building stickers. Is it mentioned anywhere in the board box we will be receiving from retailers soon that this is an error, or will it be corrected on those editions? While the game starts off quickly explaining the current buildings and overall objectives, the game provides no further information beyond that point and asks the player to simply refer back to the rulebook. Thanks so much for the quick response. Hats off to you this game will hold a place in our hearts forever. it is the most expected game to me in 2017. Jeremiah: The way to get Charterstone a little early is to go to Germany for Essen Spiel, as one of our partners is air-freighting a few pallets from China to Germany. Ben: Yep, the end result is just as playable no matter how many players were in the campaign. We have made due this game but I doubt it will last another play through. I was up very late last night (too late, perhaps) writing my review of the game. Cant wait! Ive got a group that would be interested in playtesting this, too.
