Watch “Stonespine Architects: Preview (GAMA Expo 2023),” a board game interview for Stonespine Architects from David Niecikowski, PhD on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by David Niecikowski, PhD on YouTube:
Stonespine Architects is a game that Thunderworks has coming to Kickstarter in July of this yea. Stonespine is from the same designer of Cartographers and takes place in the same universe as Roll Player. This is a drafting game in which you are building a dungeon of four cards across the top. Once you've placed your four for the row you count up how much gold is in each of these rooms the round and then you use that money to buy tokens in the markets which will add additional creatures into your dungeon or add traps or add a little victory points that you'll get at the end of the game. At the end of each round you'll get a scoring card, challenge cards, and they give you a different Victory Point conditions like different goals to accomplish. Then once everyone's finished their fourth row you add up the points from a global goal and your Blueprint Card where you look for the pathing trying to connect as many rooms to the entrance. Each person is building their own dungeon passing cards to each other.

About Stonespine Architects, from BoardGameGeek:
Dungeon-crafting is an ancient minotaur art that you've studied for a decade under Master Hortgully. To demonstrate your skill, as your final project you must carve your own perilous labyrinth into the base of the Stonespine Mountains.
Stonespine Architects is a card-drafting game in which 1-5 players compete to construct the most dangerous labyrinth.
Players simultaneously draft and play cards to expand their dungeons, one chamber at a time. Follow a unique blueprint and a variety of scoring challenges. Choose between mapping a path through your underground passages, placing key elements in your rooms, or searching for extra treasure.
Spend gold between rounds to customize your labyrinth with monsters, traps, treasures, and secret passages. At the end of four years, the player with the most perilous dungeon will earn the title of Master Architect!
