About Cartographers

The official Flip & Write companion to the board game hit!

Step into the shoes of a royal cartographer and surveyor commissioned by Queen Gimnax. Your mission: explore, stake out, and immortalize the wild northern lands on parchment. In this strategic card game, you decide how to shape your territory—but beware: you are not alone in the wilderness!

An Epic Adventure in the Roll Player Universe
Cartographers brings the fascinating mechanics of the modern board game directly to your smartphone. Experience the tactical Flip & Write principle that has thrilled critics and fans worldwide and was nominated for the prestigious Kennerspiel des Jahres (Connoisseur Game of the Year) in 2020.

Strategy Through Ever-Changing Decrees
At the heart of this board game are four royal decrees. These are recombined in every match, making each game a unique puzzle. You must constantly adapt your strategy to squeeze the maximum score out of your lands:

Diverse Scoring: Earn fame through the Gloomy Wood by skillfully enclosing forest patches, or use the Golden Granary to place farm fields on valuable ruins.

Tactical Placement: In the Magician's Valley, score points by placing water and farmland near mighty mountains. Every hamlet and settlement must be cleverly planned to meet the Queen’s shifting demands.

Seasonal Cycle: Priorities change through Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Only those who plan ahead will be named Master Cartographer at the end of the year.

The Gameplay is Simple
Flip: Each round, a new card is revealed, showing you landscapes and shapes.

Write: Skillfully place these areas on your map. Use the space optimally to fulfill the conditions of the decrees.

Score: Collect valuable reputation points, but watch out for monster ambushes!

Monsters in the Borderlands
A cartographer must be brave! The monsters never sleep. At regular intervals, you will encounter ambushes that thwart your plans. Monster fields will be discovered on your map—surround them quickly to minimize the damage to your reputation.

Why You’ll Love "Cartographers":
Official Adaptation: The faithful digital version of the popular board game by Thunderworks Games.

Weekly Challenges: Compete with players from all over the world in global highscore lists. A new scenario awaits you every week!

Three Game Modes: Choose between different difficulty levels and randomness factors—from relaxed puzzling to hardcore strategy.

Solo Fun & Competition: Perfect for a quick round in between or a deep strategic experience.

★★★★☆

Good SOLO version. It does say single player in the description, but it's good to be very clear. I would add my vote for pass and play. We often play games as a family on the tablet when on the train or in line at amusement parks and such. Also Cartographers has the interactive part where you can draw on others maps. If would be a big boost. Also, expansions exist. I would pay a few bucks more for them.

I have the tabletop version of Cartographers and I love it! This app is a single player version of the game, and we'll done at that. Intuitive controls and UI, with well done animations, music and sounds. However, I think it's missing the best part of the tabletop experience which is a multiplayer mode. I would personally love to see it so paid users can host (local or online), unpaid users can join games for free.

★★★★☆

Great game, mediocre app. Has a few bugs when it comes to tracking scores, registering email, ambushes not following the game rules, and a few typos. No multiplayer and no built in sharing make this feel more like a first edition. I hope there are updates on the way, including the new ambush cards, skills, and eventually Heroes. Still definitely worth the download for Cartographers fans.

★★★☆☆

Cartographers is a 1-100 player board game, yet this app is Not structured to include a pass and play format. Interesting to have rotating challenges but I would enjoy being able to play with someone I know. Also, profile sign in doesn't always work, and when it does, you can only be signed in on one device. No exit button either, you must force close. Great game, app is well done but for the price tag, it should have multi-player options.
