We could consider it, though Id be really hesitant to make it that easy to access all the spoilers in the game.

Whos idea was that art direction, yours or one of the three artists credited on the Geek? Take my money now lol. All I can say is that it was a blast to play, the temporary rules for Game #11 were interesting and forced some cool choices, and the temporary rule for Game #12 sounds like it is going to be a bear to deal with (so many options taken away that will force more and interesting choices on us from setup on through the entire game).

There is a lot of joy in Legacy games of opening new things, and seeing how they change physically. Genius idea on recharge pack. This was already the most anticipated game for me of 2017, but seeing that cover art and with it the art style of the game and the somewhat whimsical conception of this world with that picnic basket shaped building has somehow upped my interest in the world. I truly think I have built my charter a bit inefficiently. Each game will build upon the previous one and add something new! :D. I dont really get legacy games, so please tell me if I have understood it correctly: If a player makes som poor choices and builds some buildings that do not work together well, then forever after any player who has the misfortune of getting that player mat will be at a disadvantage. :).

Each building is unique, though some buildings do similar things. So yea, I will be getting the recharge pack when we are done, and we can hopefully get a group together to play it through once the pandemic crisis has abated. Extremely excited for this. Any plans for a Charterstone 2? :) Also, one of the reasons we included metal coins in the game is related to something you saideven if you stop playing Charterstone at some point, you still have something useful you can use in other games.

Hello Jamey Congrats on Scythe! Not sure how this stacks up with those 2 in terms of game complexity and play time? Therefore, you may spend the Advancement Card you receive from using a Robot, to pay the Cost of the Building where it was placed.

How does the player count of the campaign affect the final re-playable game? 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 would like to print out a couple extras for the other players rather than having to constantly pass the Chronicle around. I **strongly** hope that youve got some writers working on some story level paragraphs for those decision points. These cards do not exist, for production reasons. 5.
