I feel puzzled by the concept of Cozy Stickerville. The stickers are not reusable, are they? I looked through some reviews and either that part is not mentioned or it makes it sound like at some point you cannot play the game anymore?

Disclaimer: I have not played the game or read the rules, so I am speaking based on what I have heard from reviewers.

The game is single use. You read story cards and stick more and more stickers to the board until you have read every story card in the game.

If you are curious about what would have happened if you took the other option on story card decisions, you can flip the board and replay the campaign always doing the opposite of what you did in your first playthrough (you have to do the opposite, since the game does not come with enough stickers to take the same decision twice).

Once you have played through the campaign twice, you should have experienced most of the possible game story.

Thanks for explaining, definitely not for me but seems like there is a market for it, so whatever.

Guessing it's a "legacy" style game like pandemic: legacy where one campaign playthrough is what the box is good for.
