With the imminent pre-order date creeping up on us for the Stonemaier Games remake/reprint of Libertalia called Libertalia: Winds of Galecrest.
A game I’m pretty excited about. The design diaries and review videos (Watched It Played, and GameBoy Geek mainly) sold me on it. I hadn’t played the original. But boy does this look like a great game.
I thought it was time to look at how many games I actually own from Stonemaier Games.
Amongst my gaming friends I do have a reputation as being a bit of a fanboy. Some of our friendly banter might include them using this snippet of information to good effect. Why Jamey did you have to say you like Barenpark? Why?
I’m also a Stonemaier Champion (which one or two of those banter loving friends have made use of in the past) which has one or two benefits, with the addition of supporting Jamey’s YouTube channel.
So here is the current list of games that I own by Stonemaier Games. It doesn’t include expansions naturally. But just assume if there is an expansion for the game that I have it!
Now how many guessed I had just 6 Stonemaier games?
Shall I rank them in order?
- Scythe – still my favourite game of all time. I think the only things I don’t have for this are the realistic resources (not a fan of them) and the metallic mechs (one day when I can afford them). And can you believe I still haven’t introduced my son to this game?!
- Wingspan – very close call between this and Tapestry. Depending on the day I think about it they can easily swap places. Must remember never play as a 5 player game it’s too long.
- Tapestry – a marmite game for many. But I love it as do those in my gaming group that have played it (even Jonathan liked it).
- Viticulture – one of my favourite worker placement games, especially with the Tuscany expansion.
- Rolling Realms – a really nice roll and write. One of my current favourites (see previous post).
- Charterstone – we never got to finish this legacy worker placement game, which is a shame. I did enjoy it. Must get the reload pack and start a new game.
Which is your favourite Stonemaier game? I know the answer from Jonathan.
UPDATE 21/02/2022: I was playing with the insights feature of the bgstats app and realised I could produce the following insight to this post showing the all time stats for just these Stonemaier games.
