CARTOGRAPHERS: A ROLL PLAYER TALE
Queen Gimnax has ordered the reclamation of northern lands. As a cartographer in her service, you are sent to map this territory, claiming it for the Kingdom of Nalos. Gimnax’s edicts announce 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, and so you must draw your lines carefully to reduce their influence. Reclaim the greatest share of the Queen’s desired land and you will be declared the greatest cartographer in Nalos. In Cartographers, 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. The player with the highest reputation at the end of the year is declared the winner.User Reviews (1)

Even better with coloured pencils! This is an easy to learn, deck-driven, grid-based drawing game (requires no real artistic skill to play). Almost relaxing, sometimes, to play.
Let us see…replayability: not only does it have a deck that drives your map-making, allowing for variation, AND two different ‘starter grids’ on which you’ll make your map, but there are also ‘trap’ type cards that can muck up your map planning right-quick, adding a level of difficulty. Still want more? There are expansions and other such extra cards that can be added to the deck for variety.
It’s one of very few games I can convince my SO (who dislikes learning difficult games, and has a short attention span to boot) to play.
Decent quality – nice finish on the cards, and the notepad of map sheets is well bound and easy to remove without tearing.
