Explore the captivating worlds of Stonemaier's acclaimed titles:

Visit the Store for Wingspan, an immersive game about bird enthusiasts. Delve into the alternate history of Scythe, a dieselpunk-inspired engine-building game set in 1920s Eastern Europe. Discover the tile-exploration adventure of Tapestry, where players lead unique civilizations to greatness through cultural and technological advancements. Explore the dystopian Euphoria, where workers are strategically placed to build authority and take over a crumbling society.

Scythe, the flagship title, presents a war-torn, mech-filled 1920s Europe, where five factions vie for dominance. Each player begins with different resources, a unique starting location, and a hidden goal, ensuring an asymmetrical and highly replayable experience.

The game's streamlined action-selection mechanism keeps gameplay moving at a brisk pace, with minimal downtime between turns. While direct conflict is an option for players seeking it, there is no player elimination, allowing everyone to remain engaged throughout the game.

Progression in Scythe is marked by the placement of stars on the board, earned through the achievement of various goals. The final score is a combination of coins, stars, controlled territories, resources, and structure bonuses, multiplied by the player's popularity throughout the game. The player with the highest final score is declared the winner.

Stonemaier's commitment to thoughtfully designed mechanisms, beautiful artwork, and rich thematic elements has earned the company a reputation for producing high-quality, immersive tabletop experiences. Whether you're drawn to the alternate history of Scythe, the tile-laying of Tapestry, or the worker placement of Euphoria, Stonemaier's diverse catalog offers something for every gamer.
