## Description

In Cartographers: A Roll Player Tale, players compete to get the highest reputation at the end of four seasons. Each season, players draw on their map sheet and score against unique conditions at the end of the season. But you are not alone in this wilderness. The Dragon contest your claims with their outposts, and so you must draw your lines carefully to reduce their influence. The player with the highest reputation at the end of the year is declared the winner. Made in China.

Review: Fun for family, big and small groups can use - Love that this game can be played with big and small groups. Love that it is one younger kids can understand and be included in. Maybe not really little, but our 8y.o. thinks its awesome. As long as they can sit through the game and understand the idea of shapes fitting on the grid it's not hard to pick up. But older players may need to 'be kind' to young players on monster attacks. Love that it can be played pretty quickly. Keeps kids and adults attention. Love that you can print out more maps for free online from the game designer's website. Family friendly, competitive, but not cut throat. You can be mean with monster attack placement, but you have to use the shape on the card drawn, so there is only so much damage you can inflict. So far entire family has enjoyed it. We like to use colored pencils or colored markers on the maps to match the colors of the squares on the cards for easier point counting.
Review: Wonderful and unique game! - I am an avid board game player for the past four years. I was introduced to the "Cartographers" a year or so ago at a board game night with friends. It was a different experience, and I knew I had to pick it up eventually for myself. The game is easy to learn, and similar to Tetris. You (and up to 100 friends) simply need to draw a card and then physically "draw" that shape onto your paper to claim a piece of land (either forests, water, houses, or farmland). Each game is unique with different rules and placement. If you get tired of the starting map there is also an additional harder map on the back with less room to build on. I introduced my parents to this game as well, and they picked it up fairly quickly. This is a great game to get out without too much setup. There are also DLC packs I'm looking to buy eventually with different maps and things to do.

## Features

- EXPLORE THE WILDERNESS: The Queen has tasked you with scouting new territories in the World of Ulos, first introduced in the hit game Roll Player!
- DRAW YOUR MAP: 100 double-sided map sheets challenge players to draw unique terrain shapes on their maps over the course of four seasons. (No artistic talent required.)
- BEWARE OF MONSTERS: It’s an Ambush! Draw these beastly attackers, but be sure to surround them swiftly before they cost you dearly…
- UNIQUE SCORING: Endlessly replayable! Goals are randomly selected each game, creating different scoring challenges and combos every time you play.
- AWARD-WINNING: A modern classic must-have game that's perfect for travel, families, groups, and cozy games alone. Makes a great gift!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of My Favorites
*by S***Z on December 19, 2025*

Disclaimer: I've only played this game solitaire, but there's not much difference in how you play. You're really just playing against the game for a high score anyway. That being said, this game has one feature that really shines: you are drawing a map as the cards are revealed. Of course, how you draw it is up to you. Do you go for high score or do you make the prettiest map? There are 100 2-sided map sheets, so you have lots to experiment with. Get some colored pens and pencils and be creative. Go online and look up examples of beautiful map ideas people have come up with. If you're playing by yourself, you can take all the time you like. The gameplay is simple once you learn the rules. Lots of strategy and choice dilemmas. The scoring for solitaire play is pretty difficult. Think you can achieve Master Cartographer? I haven't come close yet. But I'm building a collection of pretty maps. Nice low-key enjoyment. There are sequels too, but for now I'm having plenty of fun with the original. Maybe someday!
