Cartographers Heroes

Players take the role of royal cartographers mapping the Western Lands during a time of war. On each turn, players draw and place terrain and feature shapes on their personal map sheets to satisfy changing edicts, score objectives, and accommodate heroes who fight invading forces. Specialized explore and ambush cards introduce new scoring conditions and enemy threats, while hero cards grant local bonuses and interact with the map. The game uses simultaneous drawing and placement with periodic scoring, and it can be played standalone or combined with components from the earlier map-drawing title for increased variety.

    I love the original, but this one even better! The heroes really counter the monster squares, whereas before there was little to do against them.

    Got it for half price, had to see why it's so popular. I see why people like it, and I think I would like it more if I played it more than once. But this just reassures my assumption that Roll/Flip & Write is simply not my genre. This also combines it with Polyominoes and Drawing, both of which I don't really care for.
