Game Experience: November 13: A few content creators may start to showcase objective content (unboxings, playthroughs, etc) on this date. The Cardboard Herald (“a solid and concise conclusion to Tapestry that’ll be welcome to fans who’ve been craving more.”) In Tapestry, you can invent new technologies, which adds a tech card of your choice to the right side of your capital city mat. At various times you have the ability to upgrade a tech card of your choice, triggering either the benefit in the circle or in the square, depending on how much you’ve upgraded the card.

a. both players get the benefit, then the owner gets the benefit again, then the Inventor steals the tech.

Final Score: 4.5 Stars – Easy to learn with lots of strategic depth. Unique civ powers make every game different. Thank you in advance; excited to play this again, and really stoked to get my Collector’s Edition – Red Rising to the table! The expansion provides 5 new asymmetric civilisations to play as. All of which have new and interesting abilities and powers but I’ll let you discover these on your own. The new capital maps are also novel in that they’re “advanced” capital city maps. Where the original maps all consisted of 9 square grids with random obstructed squares the new ones each do things a little differently. At the beginning of the game, you It’s quite possible that the new capital city mats are my favorite part of the Arts & Architecture expansion.

I played acquired the Historians civ mid-game; it eventually caused a big swing for me, and others wanted to confirm a couple of things: That’s all sixteen of them. Some stronger, some weaker, others more direct or more of a gamble. For a high score, you must play by your civilization’s strengths and make sure you cash in all of its rewards. We used a similar method to the capital cities: We started out with around 15 civilizations, and during the playtesting process we removed those that didn’t work well, weren’t fun, or were too confusing.

Tapestry: Arts & Architecture

After considering a game submission from designer Chris Scaffidi that was a little too close to Tapestry (but did a good job of exploring fictional themes), I asked Chris if he might consider working with Arts & Architecture lead designer Mike Young on the third Tapestry expansion. I took more of a development role in this expansion, and I think both Chris and Mike did a superb job bringing Fantasies & Futures to life, as did artist Andrew Bosley. Tapestry doesn’t follow in the footsteps of classic civilisation building games, the theme is just a little too thin to be fully immersive. Some people will struggle to forgive it for that. That’s a real shame, because the fact is, Tapestry is an incredibly fun experience! Stegmaier has once again proved himself a master of modern game design as he pulls all these different mechanisms together to create a smooth and simple to learn game that still feels heavy where it matters. We rarely work directly with third-party accessory creators, but in this case we thought we could best serve Tapestry fans by partnering with Folded Space. That way we could test the insert as it evolved, and we could reveal the various secrets of the third expansion to facilitate in the creation of the insert.
