Description
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.

Good solid implementation of the game. Wish it had a few minor details like being able to speed up animations and place enemies
★★★★★David Bauer· Dec 16, 2022
So far, as brilliant an app as is the board game! Great fun, saves your state if you need to leave mid-game, has some trophy challenges, and you can compete with high score against other players; though this can require the expansion on some weeks for full disclosure. Has a list of your scores as well, so you can always work at bettering your own scores. While I do prefer the actual game, this is a great way to play if you don't have access to a sharp pencil and the pads.
★★★★☆Rachel Partridge· Dec 29, 2022
Excellent adaptation of the tabletop game! Would give 5 stars but needs online competitive mode. Also needs optimization to deal with the task bar on tablets in Android 8 - currently the task bar covers the bottom of the game UI, so I can't see which terrain I have chosen. 'Sagrada' hides the task bar in full-screen mode - this app needs to do the same.

Scoring system seems off (subtracts dozens of points at the very end for each round and doesn't explain why. Last game I had a score of 63 after 4 rounds, but the final scoresheet put me at -30), otherwise a well done and interesting game.

The UI bugs are one thing. But when I tried to play it today, it said "This week the game mode is only playable with the expansion", which, of course, needs to be bought separately. Are you kidding me? I already paid for the base game, and now it won't let me play? LOL, greedy bastards.

Needs multiplayer. The board game is 1-100 players but online app is solo! It would be much better if devs created multiplayer or way to invite friends to game, especially for a paid game.
★★☆☆☆Claire Richter (ClaireRae)· Jun 3, 2023
Unfortunately pretty buggy. My previously played games don't ever end up in the high score area. Clicking on the scoring cards to check their descriptions sometimes ends with the description freezing on my screen and not leaving, making it, so I'm unable to click anywhere else or place tiles, and I have to close out of the app and start the game over. That said, it is still fun to play just for the sake of playing, but I do wish there was a pass and play version.

There's an offset between where I tap and where a square is selected very annoying and makes the game basically unplayable
