This Fall Brings Boonlake from Capstone Games

Aug 5, 2021

A new board game of pioneering and community building is coming the Fall from Capstone Games. In Boonlake, designed by Alexander Pfister, each player will lead a group of settlers as they aim to create a new life along the titular lake. The game is for one to four players, ages 14+, plays in around two hours, and will carry an MSRP of $69.95 when it arrives in November.

About the game:

With a group of pioneers, you have left civilization behind to settle along the shores of Boonlake, a long-forgotten region inhabited by humans long ago. This unexplored area beckons you! Become part of a new community and commit yourself to the common good. Explore the landscapes, build houses and settlements, raise cattle, produce raw materials, and develop your infrastructure. Do your best to automate these processes. Seize the opportunity to make the best of your new life in Boonlake.

Boonlake is an expert game by Alexander Pfister where you are finding yourself improving your life, and your group’s life in this new territory…but how you accomplish this is completely up to you! Introducing a novel action mechanism, each game progresses differently. Will you focus on expansion? Or maybe you contribute to creating an infrastructure? Or possibly pursue your own agenda? Carefully consider what you choose, as each action benefits everybody else…
