Players can research technology cards and then upgrade them twice over the course of the game, gaining benefits with those upgrades. There’s a map in the middle, a smaller one for 1-3 players and a larger one for 4-5, where players can explore new hex tiles and conquer them, sometimes even taking a hex controlled by an opponent. There are four advancement tracks around the main board with twelve spaces each players can expend resources to move up a space on each track, gaining set benefits and sometimes paying another resource for a bonus, with additional rewards for players who are the first to reach the fourth, seventh, tenth, or final spaces on each track. In Tapestry, players will compete to do … a lot of things, actually. It is, fortunately, a very good game, tightly designed and easy to learn as you go, although I don’t think it is as much a civilization-building game as it would like to be. With painted miniatures and other quality components, the game carries a hefty list price of $99, further adding to the expectations set for the game as Stonemaier started fulfilling Kickstarter orders in September. The elaborate, high-end strategy game Tapestry is the latest brainchild of Jamey Stegmaier, the designer of Charterstone ( my #2 game of 2018) and Scythe, and the owner of Stonemaier Games, which published this year’s Kennerspiel des Jahres winner Wingspan.
