Stonespine Architects is a card-drafting game for 1-5 players where you compete to construct the most dangerous labyrinth. Players simultaneously draft and play cards to expand their dungeons, one chamber at a time. Follow a unique blueprint and a variety of scoring challenges. Choose between mapping a path through your underground tunnels, placing key elements in your rooms, or searching for extra riches.
Design a perilous underground labyrinth and prove yourself a master architect in Stonespine Architects. Each player constructs a personal dungeon beneath the Stonespine Mountains, filling its chambers with monsters, traps, treasure and passages while following a secret architectural blueprint.
Players simultaneously draft Chamber Cards and add them to their dungeon one at a time. Card placement determines how paths connect and where important room features appear, so a useful monster or treasure may still create a costly break in the route. Personal blueprints and shared scoring goals encourage different spatial priorities.
Between drafting rounds, earned gold can purchase Market Tokens that add monsters, traps, treasures and secret passages to completed rooms. New personal challenges provide additional scoring opportunities as construction progresses. After four years, connected paths, fulfilled blueprints, completed challenges and accumulated riches determine which builder earns the title of Master Architect.
