Charterstone: Digital Edition in IOS

Build the new Eternal City!

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

95/100

Charterstone: Digital Edition is perhaps one of the finest board game ports I have ever played. It successfully translates the complex 'legacy' mechanics of the physical game—where rules and the board change permanently over time—into a seamless digital experience. The campaign is a 12-game journey that feels like a living story, where every building you place and every worker you assign has lasting consequences for future sessions.

The art style is whimsical and vibrant, but don't let the 'cute' look fool you; there is deep strategy involved in managing your resources and influence. What I love most is the 'non-aggressive' nature of the gameplay. You win by optimizing your own engine and building the best charter, not by destroying your friends. It’s a sophisticated, high-replayability strategy game that feels both welcoming and intellectually challenging.

The campaign is divided into a series of separate games. Each game will have its own unique rule and bonus objective. Each game will build upon the previous one and add something new! Your decisions and play style will affect the progress and the end of the campaign. What’s more, there are no negative interactions between players. In other words, you score points on the back of your own strategy, not by undermining your opponents. It’s especially important when playing against your friends or family in online or hot-seats multiplayer!
