We played Cartographers this week as we babbled on for a bit too long without any thought as to what we'd play.

We played it previously as a group about 2 years ago, so it was nice to revisit it finally. A simple flip-and-write game with some element of interfering with other players (namely the player to your left). A nice fun puzzle to share with the other players!

Funny! Wife and I got this game out for a short session too, I’ve owned it for over a year and never played our copy, only played a friends at game nights. Finally got some colored pencils for proper map doodling! She kicked my butt, I learned not to sleep on those coins!

The coins are a worthwhile investment early on, but we managed to get some good objectives that means plenty of points all around!

Yeah I definitely failed on the objectives and didn’t realize it circles back around to A again on the last season, would’ve been good to set up for that!

All a learning experience for the next time!

Watch out the monster cards have different directions. So not only interaction to one side.

Ooo I didn't know this! One of the few times I wasn't being a rules goblin, so I gave myself over fully to the owner! We only had one Goblin card come up anyway, so nothing too drastic.

Thank you!
