About the Game

'You've seen it in your dreams these many years. A new threat grows in the wilderness, a corrupting presence that fills you with dread. A thousand glowing amber crystal shards hum with life, and a shadow filled with stars wings its way across the plains of your homeland. Was that a dragon you glimpsed in the sky as you awoke? And did it sound… afraid?’

The modern classic flip-and-write game is back, bigger and better than ever! 'Cartographers Adventures' presents a replayable campaign game of competitive map drawing that takes the beloved mechanics of 'Cartographers' to new strategic heights for 1-6 players.

Immerse yourself in an unforgettable tale as you explore the vast World of Ulos in this story driven campaign set 1,000 years before the time of ‘Cartographers.’ Discover a land filled with compelling characters, meaningful choices, branching story lines, and exciting new locations with challenging new maps and strategies. Built for replayability, 15 unique chapters with their own maps are included in the game, but each campaign will only encompass 8 or 9 of these scenarios. Your choices will determine which scenarios you experience!

The core of gameplay is similar to 'Cartographers' and 'Cartographers Heroes.' Reveal cards as you explore, drawing the polyomino shapes and types of terrain you discover with each card. You must choose where and how to draw these shapes on your personal map, attempting to align them to meet the goals of each scenario, scoring points toward victory.

In each chapter of 'Cartographers Adventures,' the choices you make and the successes (or failures!) you experience as you draw your maps will shape the direction of your path. Each chapter is played on a new unique map, with new types of goals, terrain, and challenges to overcome.

Embark on an epic journey of discovery that will shape the kingdom forever. Unravel mysteries, unlock secret levels, solve puzzles, and choose your destiny as you draw your way through the campaign. Meet new allies, choose your tactics, and hone your skills as you prepare for an epic finale!

And do try not to destroy the universe while you're at it, ok?

'No experience with the original Cartographers games is required. Select cards from this game may be integrated into' Cartographers 'and' Cartographers Heroes 'for added gameplay variety.'
