Origin Story [Board Game]

Origin Story — A Game of Discovery, Decisions, and Destiny

Step into the dawn of civilization and witness the spark of humanity’s first great tales in Origin Story, the latest masterpiece from Stonemaier Games. Designed for players who love elegant mechanics, deep strategy, and immersive world-building, this game invites you to shape the very beginnings of culture, innovation, and myth.

From the creators of Wingspan, Scythe, and Charterstone, Origin Story continues Stonemaier’s tradition of combining exquisite production quality with emotionally resonant gameplay. Every turn is a choice between progress and preservation — every action, a brushstroke on the canvas of humankind’s first legends.

Game Overview

In Origin Story, you and your fellow players guide fledgling tribes from the mists of prehistory into the early ages of civilization. Your people will explore new lands, discover powerful symbols, and craft stories that echo through time.

Using a mix of tile placement, resource management, and narrative-driven progression, you’ll compete and collaborate to unlock milestones that define your tribe’s legacy. Each choice you make shapes your civilization’s beliefs, technologies, and destiny — creating a unique story with every playthrough.
