About This Game

Play your cards. Build your colony.

What if your next game of solitaire grew into a thriving settlement? By Royal Charter brings the satisfying rhythm of finding a place for each card to colony building, production chains, and royal commissions. A farm needs workers. A workshop needs materials. Your next card could make it all click.

A PLACE FOR EVERY CARD

Each week brings a changing selection of Opportunity cards. Buy facilities, recruit colonists, add upgrades, or reserve a promising card for later. Place facilities on compatible plots across a board-like map and decide which opportunity your colony needs most.

THAT FEELING WHEN IT ALL WORKS

Turn Timber into Lumber and Grain into Bread. Link workplaces, storage, and transport into a working economy. Buy what you lack through overland trade and ship valuable exports from the Harbour. Every card has a part to play in the bigger picture.

THE RIGHT PERSON IN THE RIGHT PLACE

Match colonists to their professions, train Apprentices, and develop Masters. A well-chosen specialist can be the missing piece that gets your production moving.

BUILD A COLONY PEOPLE CAN LIVE IN

Keep Food, Hearth Fuel, Medical Supplies, Clothing, and Work Supplies flowing. Shortages affect Health and Morale: your colony needs more than a profitable export business.

A LITTLE CHALLENGE OR A GRAND AMBITION

Choose a Brief, Standard, or Ambitious Royal Charter, each with its own conditions, goals, and deadline. Fit a small colony into a short session or take on a larger settlement with longer production chains. Turns give you time to think; thoughtful decisions matter more than quick reactions.

ONE MORE CARD. ONE MORE CHARTER.

Complete your commission, earn Merit and Reputation, and return to the Colonial Office for your next charter. Rise through the Governor ranks and unlock Favours and Veteran Colonists for future colonies. Careful planning pays off, but you do not need to perfect every detail to succeed.
