Cartographers | Solo Playthrough | with Mike

[@brandonjohnson9876]

I love this game so much. It’s so quick and simple but with plenty of decision space. And the variable difficulty adjusting your score is a nice touch.

[@kindredspiritm]

I really like how you manage to explain the rules quickly but at the same time they are clear and to the point. Thank you!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks so much! Glad it was helpful.

[@Fallub]

I still think that is the best roll and write game for solo play. Thanks for the playthrough.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I enjoy it too!

[@greyhawke115]

I also like Welcome To... But Cartographers is more fun overall in solo play.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

@@greyhawke115 yeah, I enjoyed Welcome To... fine. Liz said there is some solo mode you can purchase separately that makes solo better?

[@davidpepin3017]

You said it at the end, but right at the beggining I was thinking: "This is like a spinoff of sprawlopolis." Thank you for the video. I just got the game but I'm never quite sure of the rules just by reading them (english is not my first language), but seeing you play makes everything crystal clear.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Glad it was helpful!

That 1 square lonely tree - you didn't count it in Autumn and Winter. + 3 pts.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Heck yes :) I like more points.

[@annikengulbrandsen630]

So happy I watched this grate play through, I never discarded any monsters that came up, just shuffled them in again and added one more. In my previous game I ended up with three monsters draws in the last round and ended up with minus 6 points 😫😫😫 . Now I have the spirit back!!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

You invented hard mode!!! ;)

[@EHngelic]

Thanks for the playthrough! Your focus on the Canal Lake paid off large. I played along and did quite poorly. -1 was my final score. I really enjoy this game a lot, but don't always do well. After watching your 5 in 5, Sprawlopolis is high on my "to play" list

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh, that's so cool! Never thought of inviting people to play along :) Sorry the points didn't go so well.

[@EHngelic]

@@OneStopCoopShop If you're ever up for doing another playthrough, anyone can download the maps via the files section on BGG so they can join in without owning the game

[@Hybban]

That looks very fun. Now to watch you're 5 in 5 that you published yesterday :)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I'm tricky like that :)

[@runarkojan3162]

Playalong for me and I scorer 15 points. Journeyman Topographer. Nice variety in this game.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Good job!

[@remitheriault6622]

I know I'm a little late to the game but I scored 27! I'm a Master Mapsmith! Best score I got yet out of about 4 plays . I recently bought the game, just looking for ppl playing it on youtube to compare scores to lol! It's actually a really good game, my fave solo play actually, a lot has to do with the ease of play, and there is very little to set up. I actually find it better than Dinosaur: rwar and write, which is still a good solo game ( never tried it with others though).

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Nice job!

[@estherromero3824]

Nice one

[@anyonepl81]

I decided to play along...scored 22.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

anyonepl81 nice work!

[@guritche]

At 12:45 would you not have to draw the monsters at squares I11, J10 and K9?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Nope! The solo rules specify that you are not allowed to flip or rotate the monsters from their orientation shown, so I couldn't rotate them to fit the placement you suggested.

[@guritche]

@@OneStopCoopShop Thanks! One more question what is the Roll Player 'Backstory' card that comes with the game?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

@@guritche "backstories" are a type of card in Roll Player that give you victory points for building your character in a certain way, I believe, so it's just a minor addition you can add to a game of Roll Player.
