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. In an effort to start a new village, the Forever King has selected 6 citizens for the task, each of whom has a unique set of skills they use to build their charter.

In Charterstone, a competitive legacy game scaled for 1-6 players, you construct buildings and inhabit a shared village. Building stickers are removed from cards and permanently added to your charter on the board, becoming action spaces for any player to use (kind of like Lords of Waterdeep, Caylus and Ora et Labora). Thus, a few available buildings soon grow into a bustling village with dozens of actions.

Charterstone features the following:

  • streamlined starting rulebook: learn as you play and add rules as you unlock content
  • engine-building elements within each game and over the course of the campaign
  • a branching storyline where short-term decisions have a long-term impact
  • a secret component found in only one other board game
  • 75+ "crates" to unlock: 36 metal coins, 350+ unique cards, and 230+ wooden tokens (exactly 12 of each resource: wood, coal, grain, brick, iron, and pumpkin)

Your journey through Charterstone’s many secrets will last 12 games, but it doesn’t end there. Your completed village will be a one-of-a-kind, variable worker-placement game. Or you can purchase a completely optional recharge pack to play a second campaign.

The legacy mechanic where your village carries over between games is what sold me, and it's even better in practice — every session you're building on decisions from last time. We finished the campaign in about two months of weekly meetups and immediately wanted to start a fresh map.

Charlotte ★★★★★

Our group of five has been obsessed ever since the legacy mechanics started locking in our choices—each session feels like we're building something that’s truly ours. The way the rules unfold over multiple games is brilliant, and the box even has compartments that reveal new secrets as you play. We'

Natalie I. ★★★★★

We cracked open the box with four friends last Friday and didn't look up for three hours—the way the story unfolds across each game session genuinely surprised us. Even the components feel premium, with thick cards and detailed wooden pieces that make setting up the colony a tactile pleasure. Our gr
