Queen Gimnax has ordered the reclamation of the northern lands. As a cartographer in her service, you are sent to map this territory, claiming it for the Kingdom of Nalos. Through official edicts, the queen announces which lands she prizes most, and you will increase your reputation by meeting her demands. But you are not alone in this wilderness. The Dragul contest your claims with their outposts, so you must draw your lines carefully to reduce their influence. Reclaim the greatest share of the queen’s desired lands and you will be declared the greatest cartographer in the kingdom.

In Cartographers: A Roll Player Tale, players compete to earn the most reputation stars by the time four seasons have passed. Each season, players draw on their map sheets and earn reputation by carrying out the queen's edicts before the season is over. The player with the most reputation stars at the end of winter wins!

I think this is a great version of the game. My only feedback after playing twice is that, when you have to play a shape on a ruin card, it would be nice if only the available ruins would flash rather than all of them.

Thanks!

I hope we get some of the extras such as skill cards, heroes or the new maps

I've played a lot of games of this and I am genuinely thrilled with the implementation.

Would love to see some of the extras (skill cards, alternate maps and Heroes) but that's a wishlist not a criticism.

Good game, and good digital version. It's quite a bit nicer than the IRL table version due to the clear and colorful icons, and the opponent score summaries.

I'd like to suggest more UI preferences to show the score summaries in a more compact space. Similar to my crude mockup:

Another thing I may have noticed with Cartographers... I play a regular game with the same 6 people. It seems we are always in the same turn/table order. This leads to the same people placing monsters on their same neighbors each game rather than it being more random.

It would be nice if this were randomized.
