Resources are collected at year start, not when placing stickersdesigner
- CONTEXT
- Players were unsure whether placing a sticker showing an apple or wood icon immediately grants that resource.
- RULING
- Resource icons on stickers do not grant resources when the sticker is placed. Resources are collected once at the beginning of each year — one resource per visible icon on your village. The narrative book's year-start passage should also be read each session, as it may include special events.
AUTHOR: GameMasterX0 (Michael D. Kelley, designer)SOURCE: boardgamegeek.com(5 replies)DATE: 2026-01-23Buy and Sell: any three resources exchange for any threedesigner
- CONTEXT
- A player asked whether she could exchange 3 apples for 1 wood and 2 gold at the market.
- RULING
- "Definitely yes. Any three resources (Wood, Food, Gold) can be exchanged for any other three resources (Wood, Food, Gold). So three apples (Food) can be exchanged for 1 Wood and 2 Gold."
One-side-of-river rule applies only to grass stickers, not mountaindesigner
- CONTEXT
- A player received a mountain-terrain sticker that needed to go on the far side of the river before building a bridge, and wasn't sure if the one-side restriction applied. Another player correctly cited the rulebook: "All stickers on the GRASS must be on the same side of the river until you have a bridge."
- RULING
- "Correct!" — the one-side-of-river restriction applies only to grass stickers. Mountain terrain stickers may be placed on either side of the river regardless of whether a bridge has been built.
May build on the other side of the river if completely out of spacedesigner
- CONTEXT
- A player ran out of building space on their side of the river and had no gold to build a bridge, leaving no apparent way to construct a required market.
- RULING
- "If you truly have 0 space, just build the market on the other side of the river."
Map fold road sticker counts as one sticker regardless of lengthdesigner
- CONTEXT
- Players were uncertain whether the 3-unit-long "For Map Fold" road sticker counted as one sticker or three when instructed to place multiple road stickers. Players also asked whether the map fold sticker could be used whenever placing road stickers.
- RULING
- "A sticker 3 units long × 1 unit wide is still only 1 sticker. Three road stickers are three stickers, not one sticker. Use the longer road sticker (marked as 'For Map Fold') only when you want to cross a map fold. When you place three road stickers, they can be any mix of 1-unit and 3-unit stickers."
Fish value equals the final die roll, no re-roll requireddesigner
- CONTEXT
- A player asked whether the Go Fishing action uses the die result from gaining the food action, or requires rolling again.
- RULING
- "Right! Your fish value is the value of your final die roll."
Year 7 setup action is performed once, not iterated through all entriesdesigner
- CONTEXT
- Players were unsure whether the Year 7 setup instruction to perform a specific action should be executed once (as a normal action) or iterated through every sub-entry in sequence.
- RULING
- "I can confidently say that for the Year 7 setup, you should only perform once (like a normal action where you would select). The separate entries under are all separate actions."
Sticker placement grid is a guideline, not a strict constraintdesigner
- CONTEXT
- A player questioned whether stickers must align exactly to the printed diamond grid after a tree sticker placement left a slight overhang at a mountain edge.
- RULING
- "I think both stickers are placed correctly... The rules suggest the grid is to be used as a guideline."
Long Term Goals are guidelines; scoring impact revealed at end of Year 10designer
- CONTEXT
- Players were unsure how Long Term Goals (Card 42) are tracked during play and what rewards completing them grants.
- RULING
- "Scoring will be revealed at the game's end. Treat this card as a guideline of sorts." Achieving the listed goals by the end of Year 10 will impact the game's ending.
Y4-12 story code is intentional and may be revisiteddesigner
- CONTEXT
- A player found that the Build Large Home action from Y4-12 placed a sticker whose story code led to a narrative that seemed disconnected from the player's own home, causing confusion about whether the code was in error.
- RULING
- The story code is intentional and concerns a separate location. Do not cover the entry. "Yes, you don't cover and can do it again, we did and finished that 'quest'." The associated storyline can be revisited and completed.
Story entry 18.7 B sticker instruction is intentional, not erratadesigner
- CONTEXT
- A player noticed that story entry 18.7 B instructs covering the entry with a sticker, while 18.7 A does not, and suspected an error since 18.7 A is a one-time-use entry.
- RULING
- "It makes sense now, just try to do the action again, nothing special about it." The sticker instruction in 18.7 B is intentional and correct.
In multiplayer, hearing another player's story outcomes is by designdesigner
- CONTEXT
- In a two-player game, one player read a narrative entry aloud; the other player, who later drew the same action, already knew both available outcomes.
- RULING
- "Cozy Stickerville is a cozy game, it isn't a competition or a highly strategic game where you can min-max to optimize the best outcome." Knowing another player's story choices and outcomes is not cheating and is by design. Players wishing a more blind experience may optionally cover unread text portions of entries.
Card 44 hint refers to the reward card, not the puzzle's solutiondesigner
- CONTEXT
- A player interpreted the hint on Card 44 as referencing the first word of the puzzle's own solution, rather than the first word on the reward card received after solving it.
- RULING
- "The clue said the first word on the CARD was [word]. Once you work out the [puzzle], you will see the first word of [the reward card] is indeed [word]." The hint refers to the reward card you gain from solving the puzzle — not the first word in the puzzle's solution. The card text is correct.
Q&A1
Placement rules for clear stickers on top of other stickerscommunity high-engagement
- QUESTION
- Do clear stickers (like flowers) go in their own space, or must they be placed on top of other stickers? What happens if the sticker underneath is later covered?
- ANSWER
- Per the rulebook: clear stickers may be placed on top of other stickers to save space, but must not cover any icons. If a large sticker underneath is later covered (e.g., by upgrading your house), all clear stickers on top of it are also considered covered and removed from play.
