About the game
Prepare for an epic journey in Stonesaga, a cooperative game that transports you to a remote glacial valley, where you'll guide generations of survivors through a persistent and ever-changing world! Forget isolated matches; here, the story unfolds with each session, with your choices shaping the destiny of your people and the valley itself. Just imagine: you and your crew (or solo, if you prefer!) uncovering the mysteries of a prehistoric civilization, facing brutal conditions, fantastic creatures, and even gigantic monsters.

Stonesaga isn't just about surviving; it's about building! The crafting mechanic is a standout feature: combine a sharpened stone with a stick and see if it becomes a spear. Creativity is the limit to discovering new recipes and expanding your knowledge. From a simple campfire to an imposing library, your community will evolve and leave a legacy for future generations. Exploration is rewarded, with unique secrets and areas waiting to be discovered, encouraging the most curious to delve deeper into the world.

Components may be permanently altered but are never discarded, ensuring your saga is unique and memorable. It's a cooperative survival experience with a touch of civilization and fantasy, perfect for those who enjoy evolving campaigns that leave a mark.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many hours does a Stonesaga campaign typically take?
The total campaign time can vary significantly depending on the group's pace and choices made, but expect to dedicate substantial time as the game is designed for a long, evolving experience over multiple sessions.
Can I play Stonesaga solo?
Absolutely! Stonesaga is designed for 1 to 4 players, so the solo experience is fully viable and intended for those who prefer to explore the valley on their own.
What does 'Legacy Game' mean and how does it affect gameplay?
In a legacy game, your actions have permanent consequences. You might alter components, add new rules, or even destroy cards. This creates a unique story for your group, but it means the game cannot be 'reset' to play from scratch.
Are components permanently destroyed?
Components can be permanently altered (like applying stickers or writing on them), but nothing is completely removed or discarded from the game. Everything modified remains part of your unique copy of Stonesaga.
What is the complexity level of Stonesaga?
With a medium weight (3.31/5 on BGG), Stonesaga offers a challenging yet accessible experience for players already familiar with more strategic board games. The learning curve is gradual, especially as the campaign progresses.
Who is Stonesaga for?
It's perfect for groups of friends or families who enjoy cooperative games with an unfolding story and aren't afraid of the game changing permanently. If you like themes of survival, exploration, and civilization building, you'll love it!
