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!

"Cartographers feels a bit like a fantasy Tetris and not being artistically inclined I tend to fudge on the cartography in favor of speed. Fun little diversion, although scoring is a little bit too mu…" [SGOYT]
"An excellent little puzzle game as you try to fit your tetris drawings into the map. Space becomes really tight at the end. You can plan ahead of other scoring opportunities in other seasons if it's …" [SGOYT]
