Tapestry

Tapestry is a medium-complexity civilisation-building game for 1 to 5 players, designed by Jamey Stegmaier. Played over approximately 90 to 120 minutes, this highly thematic strategy game challenges players to guide a unique, asymmetric civilisation from the dawn of humankind into the far future using tile placement, hand management, and track advancement. Ideal for players aged 12 and over, it features stunning prepainted landmark miniatures and highly variable paths to victory.

Carve Your Own Path to the Future

In Tapestry, you start from nothing and advance along four distinct advancement tracks: science, technology, exploration, and military. As you progress, you will unlock increasingly powerful benefits. You can choose to focus intensely on a single path or adopt a balanced approach across all areas. Along the way, you will improve your income, build out your capital city grid using detailed landmark miniatures, leverage your faction's asymmetric abilities, and play tapestry cards to weave a unique story for your people.

A Modern Look at Civilisation History

Created by renowned designer Jamey Stegmaier and published by Stonemaier Games, Tapestry represents a modern take on the classic civilisation genre. Rather than strictly replicating historical timelines, the game encourages players to construct a unique, speculative narrative for their society, combining diverse scientific, technological, military, and exploratory paths.
