Rollers! Join me today as I check out a prototype for a campaign style, survival crafting board game called Stonesaga created by Max Brooke, Luke Eddy and published by OOMM. In this video I'll give you an overview of the game, setup and components. Then I'll give you an idea of how the game flows and operates. Hope this helps you make an informed decision when it lands on Kickstarter February 7th. Thanks for watching and keep on rolling solo! ;D

"Stonesaga is a cooperative, campaign style, survival crafting board game set in a unique, persistent world shaped by your choices. It is designed by Max Brooke (Star Wars: X-Wing 2nd Edition, Legend of the Five Rings RPG) with Luke Eddy (Star Wars: Legion).
Generational Storytelling
In Stonesaga, you unfold the epoch-spanning story of the people of a remote glacial valley, guiding multiple generations of characters who make a life there amidst harsh conditions, wondrous mysteries, and giant monsters.
Each game session covers one generation of people within a society, continuing from the last and permanently changing the valley in various ways based on in-game events and the players’ decisions.
Cooperative Survival
Stonesaga follows a certain rhythm: faced by a new opportunity or crisis, the people of the valley must meet their society’s new needs. Meanwhile, the valley’s other inhabitants - immortal beasts - will seek to fulfill their own needs as their instincts dictate. You will have to navigate both sets of challenges, using might, dexterity, conviction, and awareness to survive as a tribe in the wild.
Crafting & Building
Stonesaga introduces a completely new discovery based crafting mechanic. Do you think that a sharpened stone and stick could combine to create a spear? Use the crafting action and find out. You will need to discover the properties of various crafting materials as you expand your crafting “recipe” knowledge.
Work together as a community to build your village together. From a simple fire pit and tent to a forge and library, create a civilization that lasts the generations.
Exploration & Discovery
Stonesaga rewards exploration and chooses to let you experience the world in a unique way each play session. Working on the established rules of the world, you will discover unique materials, monsters, and areas of the world that you won’t be directed towards. Stonesaga lets the curious and inquisitive thrive.
Persistence
Designed for drop-in, drop-out play and flexible playgroup availability, Stonesaga can be played by one group from start to finish, played with a rotating cast, or even passed between groups seamlessly. Components are sometimes permanently altered, but never removed or discarded entirely."

How did i miss this until now? Looks like it could be a fun adventure!
Glad you found it at least! 😜
I've been really curious about this game and this video was really helpful to finally get a good look at the structure of the game! Thanks for the great video! 👍 (As usual 😊 )
You’re welcome Michelle! I like to dive deeper than a high level pass. Glad to hear it was helpful! 😄
I backed this immediately the same day the video went up! Since then I've tried it out on TTS and it's been lots of fun! I absolutely love the fishing and foraging mini games.
Awesome! It looks to be a winner and it’s coming from Canada too. 🇨🇦
You made a mistake during fishing. During step 6 in the rulebook you remove any dice from the strike location after resolving that strike. So the 5 and 1 dice would have been removed after resolving the white line and would not have been there to resolve the red line.
Thanks for watching and the feedback! Hope the video was helpful 😄
Wow! Setup looks just as extensive as Frostpunk.
It may seem that way but I explained all the components. If just setting up and not explaining what each component is, it’s quick!
I really liked it, pledged :) !
Awesome to hear! 🤩
It looks like a fun game. Not too complex but with enough meat on its bones. I especially like the exploration, forage, and crafting parts. Don't really care for the randomness of the omens since you may never match the ones in the bag to the current card.
How does it reset or is there a reset option? Or is there even a need for it to be reset?
The hardest thing I have with games that want you to write on the box or game pieces is that I may put the game down for multiple months or years and want to play it again, not finishing it in the prior plays. And with so long between plays, I may forget what's been accomplished and want to restart.
My thoughts exactly. It’s a perfect mid-weight survival game. The key for survival games is that the crafting engine is well designed and this one certainly is!
Did you not get the bonus for fishing? The top line said bonus and you succeeded the check so one water down.
Hey Aran! Good eye. I should have gotten an bonus there. Thanks for watching! 🎣
Fishing and harvesting seemed like fun mini-games, but mining felt very boring and finicky . Putting the right number of each rock, feeling the rock, checking the symbols. Its not that much but way too much for pretty much no choice.
Hey Charles! Thanks for watching and the feedback. OOMM is likely taking all of it into account. 😄
The card system for the fishing and harvesting etc. seems a little convoluted. I think it'll be fine the first couple of times but will get old very quick. I also struggle to see the "game" in this. It essentially looks like a tech-tree simulator. Gather a, craft b to help you to gather c....rinse repeat. I'm still intrigued by this but I'm a little more apprehensive going in than I was before watching this play through.
Thanks for checking out the video. 😄
Glad I could help you! The campaign page has additional details on further aspects of the game you’ll run into as you dive in. Cheers!

Its cool but pretty expensive for me
Hey! Thanks for checking out the video. It will likely be found second hand at some point in the future. Might get it for a good deal!
how replayable is this game going to be?
That’s tough to say by only seeing the prototype. If I remember correct there were things you would miss or choose not to do.
Yeah I’m good, another pass.
I don’t like the mechanic of the squiggly lines for fishing etc.
All good! To each his own. 👍🏼
This is my only problem whit this sort of game :( so many many thing to play
That’s fair! There’s options for sure. Thanks for watching.
I’m only 10 mins into the video but I’m feeling a KDM vibe no?
Hey! For me, this one doesn't have that vibe. What aspects are similar for you out of curiosity?
@@RollingSolo well it seems like overall the game seems more settlement based and working for the overall good rather than the individual. Also the crafting and predators are kind of like going out on hunts
@@Beyondd79 Ah I gotcha! I can see what you mean now for sure.
