What Is Kailian?

Before foreign galleons reached Northern Luzon, ancient Ilokano communities built one of the world's most sophisticated communal agro-ecological systems. In Kailian, you don't conquer territories or exploit neighbors. Your victory is keeping your entire village fed, culturally rooted, and resilient against seasonal typhoons.

How The Turn Loop Works

Each round represents a critical phase of the ancestral northern agricultural calendar. Players coordinate communal labor, allocate mountain water rights, and prepare for storms:

The 4 Seasonal Cycles

  • 01
    Panagarado (Plowing): Harness the Nuang (Carabao / Kalabaw) and open gravity canals to irrigate fertile lowland paddies (Talon).
  • 02
    Panagmula (Planting): Sow heirloom rice (Pagay), cultivate legumes, and deploy coastal boats (Bangka) to the coral reefs.
  • 03
    Panagani (Harvest): Practice Ammoyo mutual work-exchange (Tagalog: Bayanihan). Store milled rice (Bagas) and feast together before monsoons arrive.
  • 04
    Panag-inana (Rest & Weaving): Gather around the family hearth (Balay), weave protective optical Binakol Inabel cloth, and score community resilience points.

Bilingual Philippine Heritage: Ilokano & Tagalog

Designed for diaspora learners, heritage families, and cultural educators. Every card, structure, and quest pairs verified, authentic living Ilokano with its Tagalog counterpart (such as Ammoyo ↔ Bayanihan, Kailian ↔ Kababayan, Timek ↔ Tinig, Talon ↔ Palayan, and Nuang ↔ Kalabaw). Players absorb everyday living greetings, kinship titles, and harvest terms across both major Philippine languages through active strategy.

What Is Sanctuary & Stone?

A historical strategy board game where players establish, govern, and protect autonomous Black communities across two centuries of American history. You take on the roles of town founders, organizers, and educators who transformed raw land into sovereign centers of economic and cultural freedom.

Three Historic American Epochs

The game takes players through three distinct eras, each featuring authentic historical events, unique building blueprints, and pioneer cards:

The 3 Campaign Eras

  • 01
    The Maroon Bastions (1700s–1830s): Establish stealth settlements in the Great Dismal Swamp and Florida's Fort Mose. Forage wetland botanicals, build perimeter defenses, and shelter freedom-seekers.
  • 02
    The Reconstruction Townships (1865–1910s): Incorporate independent all-Black towns like Mound Bayou, Mississippi and Eatonville, Florida. Build cotton gins, publish local newspapers, and establish mutual aid lodges.
  • 03
    The Golden Boulevards (1910s–1930s): Construct high-density commercial centers like Greenwood (Tulsa's Black Wall Street) and Bronzeville, Chicago. Build hotels, theaters, and chartered credit unions.

The Susu Rotating Credit Mechanic

Unlike standard conquest games with extractive tax mechanics, Sanctuary & Stone utilizes the West African Susu rotating savings circle. Players pool capital together to finance neighbor businesses. High local currency circulation protects everyone when economic blockades or crises strike.

Clear Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do the web versions require an account and payment?

Our web versions are not lightweight demos—they are full, feature-complete strategy simulations with saved game states, persistent player ledgers, and deep tactical engines. A single $14.99 game pass gives you lifetime access.

When will the physical board games be ready?

We are currently engineering the physical manufacturing of our luxury linen boxes, wooden meeples, and handwoven bags. Both physical board games will launch via dedicated Kickstarter campaigns where VIP waitlist members receive early-bird pricing.

What is the RCG Living History Universe?

Much like D&D or other tabletop systems, our games share a cohesive design philosophy: deep cooperative survival, authentic historical scholarship, and zero generative AI. The Universe Pass ($24.99) unlocks all current and future chapters.

Who designed and published these games?

Both games are designed, developed, and published exclusively by Rooted Creative Group LLC under the creative leadership of Victoria Cortez, in close consultation with cultural historians and native language speakers.
