Stonemaier Games announced Origin Story, a new tableau-building game, which will release in 2026.
In this game, designed by Jamey Stegmaier and Pete Wissinger, players start as a fledgling super hero and build their origin story up over the course of five rounds of play. The game begins with a trick-taking battle, where players assume the roles of heroes or villains. Then, each round afterward begins a new chapter in players’ development of their hero as they add story cards to their comics tableau and charge cards and use abilities against opponents to score points. In the fifth round, each player reveals a hidden hero of their choice to burst onto the scene as a superhero with powerful abilities.
This game is for one to five players and plays in 45 minutes.
Stonemaier Games recently announced three games that will hit retail in October 2025, after being released on their webstore on September 10, 2025 (see “Three Games“).
