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, 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! Review: Unique and fun! - A friend introduced us to this game. and it feels complicated to play. But once you get the hand of it, its so much fun! The game has two sides and multiple cards that are played uniquely through each game which can create a good variety. The game is also a good travel size. The quality of the game is amazing and has such a fun feel to it. Highly recommend to everyone. If you enjoy games like stardew valley, you would like this game Review: Great 'flip and write' game for all ages - I had seen and read many reviews of this flip and write game and they have been widely positive and enthusiastic about Cartographers being among the best in its field. Cartographers is easy to learn and good value for money with double sided pads with two different layouts to draw on. Enough for 200 plays. The game is well supported by the publisher and already has numerous small and large box expansions which provide new map pad layouts and cards. I find the game relaxing and also thinky with a great balance of focus and interaction. I enjoy and recommend using coloured pencils (I like the better quality art pencils that shade better) to make the map more vibrant and easier to read when scoring. Fun for all ages you won't be disappointed 🙂 ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 3 years.

To be honest, because of the mechanics if you play in a group you’re still mainly playing solo. It’s very enjoyable, quick to set up and tear down, and takes very little desk space. ## Frequently Bought Together - Thunderworks Games - Cartographers: A Roll Player Tale | Award-Winning Game of Fantasy Map Drawing | Strategy Board Game | Flip and Write | Family Game for 1-100 Players | 30-45 Minutes - AEG & Flatout Games | Cascadia - Award-Winning Board Game Set in the Pacific Northwest | Easy to Learn | Quick to Play | Ages 10+ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/734213100-cartographers-a-roll-player-tale](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/734213100-cartographers-a-roll-player-tale) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-25*
