Description

Get ready to unleash your inner cartographer and strategist in Cartography, a game of area majority and influence for 2 to 4 players. In this abstract strategy game, you'll become a mapmaker, creating and claiming land on a modular board that changes with each turn. With easy-to-learn rules, you'll be immersed in the game in no time, navigating the challenges of territory building and puzzle-solving. As you place triangular tiles to extend the map, you'll need to think creatively and foresee the consequences of your actions to outmaneuver your opponents. The goal is simple: capture lands, build castles, and defend your kingdom to emerge victorious. But with the map shifting on every turn, you'll need to stay vigilant and adapt your strategy to respond to the changing landscape. Will you focus on expanding your territory, or consolidating your gains to protect your castles? The choice is yours, and with no luck-based elements to rely on, your strategic skills will be put to the test. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, Cartography is the perfect game for a quick yet intense gaming session, and its social abstract gameplay makes it a great fit for 2 to 4 players looking for a fun and challenging experience.
