Summary

A worldbuilding tabletop rpg exploring the imprecision of maps.

Full Description

The Royal Cartographer is a worldbuilding/mapmaking tabletop RPG for 1 to 4 players attempting to explore cartography and the imprecision of maps, specifically cultural/political ones.

Each player builds their own map of a region they share with other players. The cultures the players represent coexist and often occupy the same spaces, sharing the physical geography but giving it different meanings and histories.

But once these personal histories are drawn, the Royal Cartographer arrives and as is unfortunately often the case, they decide that reality is far too complicated to represent on official maps.

Which features will the Cartographer choose to map, and will the players cooperate to ensure everyone is represented on the map?

Note: includes separate solo rules.
