Tile of the century.
You might remember SettleForge from when I mentioned it this past August: an original iOS board game that plays like Carcassonne — if Carcassonne were having Rust Cohle-style cosmic hallucinations.
SettleForge gives you a bag of very pretty tiles (churches, diamond mines, grand villas, sawmills) and challenges you to make the best city you can, bearing in mind that not every tile canto be placed adjacent to every other tile. It’s much more thematically grandiose than building a quaint French village in Caracassonne — here you’re responsible for the very fabric of space-time. And the coffee shops.
It was a clever little solitaire board game the last time I messed around with it, and it looks as though you’ll have a chance to do the same yourself pretty shortly. Andreas Mank told me that the game was going into beta post-haste, and that he’d be happy to induct PT readers into the trial in the new year.
The first time we saw SettleForge we had only that grainy gameplay video that looked like someone had found it in Charlie Chaplin’s attic. After the break, I’ve got two new videos — still only 480p bit they’re the tutorial videos explaining the gameplay in great detail. Be sure to check those out if you’re interested in SettleForge, and keep an eye out here in January for a chance to get into that beta.
