Cartographers: A Roll Player Tale

I have been kinda bored with the same old of modern board games. However, this game has finally made me excited about the hobby. I bring this out at every get together and it’s always a huge hit.

One of the best Flip and Write games out there today. With expansion maps, mini-expansions with new cards, and an online Map generator, the possibilities are endless and will keep things fresh and interesting. I love this game - draw quickly with simple symbols or go all-in with colored pencils and make a super detailed map.

This is a very fun game and quick to play right out of the box. My daughter and I sat down to play it shortly after it arrived and were able to start in under 10 minutes and pick it up as we went along. The pace of the game makes it a fun, quick activity we can do together in the evenings or when we have a bit of downtime.

My spouse and I enjoy it, just being able to draw our maps and see what each other comes up with at the end. All the different combinations of scoring cards that can appear for a game make you focus on different aspects. I look forward to being able to play it with friends.

Love this game. If you like Tetris or Railroad Ink I'd recommend this game. The theme isn't for everybody but the mechanics are great..

I have a group of friends who aren't avid board gamers but we're intrigued when I told them we should get out the colored pencils. Was able to introduce them to the rules and mechanics after learning them myself, but without me teaching, I think this game would be hard to learn directly from the sparse rulebook without prior knowledge. They ended up having a blast and wanted to play again.

You can read the instructions in a few minutes and start playing right away. It's so fun to play! You can add some color pencils to the table and enjoy it more. You can play it alone, with 2, 5, 10 people or even 100, if you have lucky! Haha. If you are really crafty enough, maybe you can take that victory and proud to call you a Cartographer. We really can't get enough of this game.

Played this solo and multiple sessions with a couple of groups. This has been a hit all the way around with new players and experienced. I do wish there were a larger selection of terrain/shape cards, but between them and the scoring cards replayability is still excellent. The art on the cards is great. The game can slow down if you have more than one person who needs/wants to take the shape card to visualize what it looks like rotated or flipped, but other than that scenario it is quick and the box time is accurate after a play or two.

I played this with some friends and immediately bought my own copy. This is a great game for all skill levels and 3+ players it's been good in pretty sizable groups. Lots of fun wish there was a few more goal to very up replays more.

My group doesn't do a lot of roll and write type of games, but this one just clicked with us! Definitely our favorite game in this genre!
