Cartographers: A Roll Player Tale is a competitive board game in which players serve as cartographers tasked by Queen Gimnax to map and reclaim the northern wilderness for the Kingdom of Nalos. Participants draw directly on their map sheets each season to delineate claims, strategically prioritizing lands specified in the queen's official edicts to maximize reputation gains. They must navigate competition from Dragul outposts by drawing lines that minimize rival influence. Reputation stars are accrued by fulfilling edicts before each season concludes, with the player holding the highest total at the end of four seasons (culminating in winter) declared the kingdom's greatest cartographer and ultimate winner. ---
