My end game score was 124, my score after subtraction was 43. I'm proud to join you in the ranks of legendary cartographer, even though you still kicked my butt! lol PLEASE do another one of these! This was so fun and I don't often get to play Cartographers with my friends =)

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad you had fun (and hey, nothing wrong with that score!)

[@michaelplaas5295]

Paula, you’re a legend already. Keep up that table for one. 👍🏻

[@BillyIndiana]

Thanks for covering the solo version! That Rodney can be such a slacker😂

[@WatchItPlayed]

RIGHT?!?! -Rodney

[@VerenaFuchs]

When I first heard about roll/flip and write games, I thought they weren't for me, but Paula brought them to life in a way no one else could. I'm getting all the roll/flip and write games that Paula has presented. Thanks to Paula, I finally have a good reason to use my 72-piece premier colored pencil set. 😊

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yes! Crack out that set and make a great map :)

[@Mrhofer]

That score was bananas insane. I've ended games with my total score being the last round Paula had!

[@WatchItPlayed]

It was quite legendary!

[@carfaxabbycemeterygoth7937]

Great play through Paula your super entertaining and I love how you showcase this fun game I love that you encouraged people to play along Please keep table for 1 going its an awesome show!

[@WatchItPlayed]

More on the way!

[@matthewcozza610]

My daughter and I really enjoyed watching and playing along. Thanks for a great video Paula. We joined you in the legendary status with scores of 140 and 134. We got lucky with the Troll getting trapped in the top right corner like you did, and we both got it surrounded prior to scoring that season.

[@PaulaDeming]

Thanks for playing with me!

[@dannyverbraeken3829]

Thanks Paula ! Just played along with you. Scored 39 (120-81). You are the real legend 🙂

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for joining in!

[@melb3228]

Hello Paula, this Video was just so much fun! I postponed watching it until I had time to play along. I just now scored 143 points and I’m just soooo happy! 🥳 I love watching your table for one videos! Thanks so much for them!!!! Greetings from Germany!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Great score you got Mel!

[@kathylambrechts5317]

I wasn't really interested in this game. But after seeing you play it, I really want to play it too. You did an amazing job.

[@DianeUgo]

My score was 45 (126-82). I made the same mistake as you with the first water and farm cluster, I noticed just as you mentioned it. I already have Cartographers and got Heroes today. I've always thought this was just an expansion to Cartographers, the fact that it can be played as a standalone makes it even better. Great playthrough.

[@inhaledchaos1822]

Got Cartographers and Cartographers: Heroes on order from Thunderworks. Can't wait to start and share how I go! This was great to watch. Looking forward to more Table for One!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Nice job :)

[@brycelomonaco9113]

Fun video. The best part was the swag face after avoiding the monster damage.

[@aba_dab_o]

Thanks for the vid! And GG! The Heroes standalone yields a lot more replayability and fun to already one of the best flip-and-writes out there, if not _the_ best. Looking forward to more Table for 1 vids! :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

One of our favorites here too!

[@martijnschuth7044]

This was my first playthrough of this game. Thank you for teaching me and allowing me to play with you! My final score was (123-81) 42. Pretty legendary!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Nicely done!

[@familymeeple]

LEGENDARY!!! (like there was any doubt Paula ❤️). Thanks for sharing. Loved playing the original both solo and with my family and friends, enjoying my playthroughs of the latest expansion content too! Thanks for sharing ☺️

[@WatchItPlayed]

A favorite of mine too - I'm looking forward to trying these new stand alones as well! -Rodney

[@garryknox1614]

Thank you Paula, that was amazing. I really don't get this game to the table enough. Game on!

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad you enjoyed!

[@Fallub]

Somehow the expansions went under my radar. Thanks for showcasing Paula.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad this helped you find them :)

[@jasonjjj27]

Thank you for the play through. I love solo games for my down time and this one looks fun. I just bought it.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Have a fantastic time playing - thanks for checking out the video.

[@freegenerate]

10:45 Aww you could've surrounded the right mountain for a coin right away here! Thanks for the playthrough Paula, I just recently ordered this so I'm excited to combine it with regular cartographers!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hope you have a blast playing :)

[@Chris-ro2pu]

This series have been encouraging me to play more solo. Just played a game of Field of Arle and it was so much fun!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Fields of Arle is great!

[@soogymoogi]

Nice job, Paula! I scored 139 and also managed to be a Legendary cartographer. Placing my heros near the corners of the maps helped me a lot as I was able to place the dragon and destroy it in just 2 steps.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Nicely done!

[@pcarrizal6829]

This was a fun video. Thanks for letting us play along. I ended up scoring 11>25>25>55=116 and was also a Legend. I focused early on my Farms and water, but it didn't pay off as well as your focus on settlements and boxing off 3s.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for playing along!

[@gregb5839]

Love the original Cartographers, can’t wait to watch! You can do it Paula!

He!lo from the UK. Subscribed. I love Cartographers and just opened the Heroes box. Just to let you know:I am a solo player. All the Best.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Welcome to the channel! A pleasure to have you here :)

[@apollonia6656]

Thanks. You might regret saying that after a few questions I have for you re:Heroes. 1.Can you fill a space that has a hero on it or spaces regarded bus range attack ? 2. Can you orientate the hero 's configuration,if not what happen s if there is no space for him? 3.Can the player consider a defeated monster's space as part of a completed column/row? 4.Finally,re :the Gnomish Colony card....if you have a huge cluster can you over-lap some squares ? Phew! Sorry but I want won't blame you if you say "Unsubscribe" to me. All the Best.

[@WatchItPlayed]

@@apollonia6656 Hi, we didn’t cover the Heroes expansion with a full tutorial, so I don’t have the answers for those question, but you may find some answers on the BoardGameGeek forums for the game. Hope that helps!

I've just discovered Cartographers with the mobile version of the game and I loved it. Always enjoyed solo mode of any boardgames I've played so far. Did it with Parks, Village green and Canopy already.

That was cool! (As I plan my run to my boardgame shop...🥰) Great game!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hope you have a good time playing!

[@RickT153]

I played along and it was lots of fun :) I went for water and fields right away, neglecting villages. So after scoring spring I had a total of 6 points and was pretty far behind. It was worth it though because the "rivers" scored me 20 points for both summer and fall. The empty spaces were even more important, scoring 76 points in total. In the end I finished with a total score of 162. That was amazing :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

Love this series - but your Final Girl solo video was teased a while ago. Are you waiting for your promo card so you can play as you?

[@PaulaDeming]

I had to wait for my copy of the game to arrive, but I've got it now so keep an eye out for that episode coming soon!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Paula has the promo, but was waiting on a copy of the game. Lots of shipping challenges this year.

Likely in January. It just arrived to her, so it'll take a bit to record.

[@rudykurhajetz7370]

Watching to see if I want to get this, never played, so forgive if this is in error. The dragon card has what looks like a rotation logo, is that correct? If so, dragon could it be placed starting at C4R3 (C5R3,C5R4,C5R5,C6R4)? Great video, thank you!

[@matthewchin8437]

I noticed you could have had 4 more points to be even more legendary. The “L” shape water could have been flipped and slid down one space and would have added an additional empty cluster of 3.

You don’t reshuffle the ambush cards used at the end of the season ?

Once an Ambush card is resolved, it's removed from the deck.

could the dragon fit in the same spot you placed the last forest?

[@PaulaDeming]

I don't thiiiink so... those three squares lined up horizontally in the middle of the shape makes it not fit, I think

[@ekurisona663]

are they planning to make a large format version? i'd love to play on a 30x30 or 50x50 grid!

[@markhaberfield2619]

Aren't you supposed to discard the top most card at the end of each season?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hi Mark, it's been a little while since I shot the tutorial, so I'm a bit fuzzy on the specifics. Do you have a page for the rule you're referring to? -Rodney

[@PaulaDeming]

Hi Mark! You discard the top card of the Season stack at the end of each season--meaning the "Spring" card now gets discarded from the game, revealing the next season of "Summer" (and then from Summer to Autumn and then from Autumn to Winter). All of the Explore cards get shuffled back into the Explore deck, including one new Ambush card and one new Hero card.

[@pgibney]

I scored 119, final score of 38 and also a legend...just a slightly smaller legend than Paula.

[@WatchItPlayed]

In good company though :)
