Chartae

Players act as cartographers rebuilding an ancient map from nine square tiles. Each tile shows a land zone and a water zone; one player aims to connect land areas while the other links water. On a turn a player chooses to rotate an existing tile or place a new one, managing limited information as the map gradually fills. When all tiles are placed the connections are scored and the player with the most connected zones wins. The game emphasizes compact, tactical tile placement and spatial memory within a minimal, almost perfect-information framework.
