Overview

Charterstone is a legacy game where you and your friends cooperatively build a village over a series of twelve games. Each game introduces new rules, buildings, and goals that permanently alter the game board and the available actions. Players manage their hand of cards and strategically place workers to gather resources, construct buildings, and gain influence within the growing charter.

As the campaign progresses, you'll unlock new crates, reveal hidden secrets, and shape the fate of Charterstone. The decisions you make in each game have lasting consequences, leading to a unique and personalized worker placement game that you can continue to play even after the campaign is complete. Discover the secrets hidden within the charter, and forge your own path in this ever-evolving city building experience.
