About this expansion

Cartographers: Architects Mini Expansion is a 2024 mini expansion for 1–100 players, with a play time of 45 minutes. It adds four new cards to Cartographers and Cartographers Heroes, bringing fresh ways to explore and score while charting the Stonespine Mountains.

Set out to map this mountainous region and watch for danger along the way. A new Slime ambush card introduces an encounter with a slime monster, while the minotaur hero Hortgully is ready to protect you.

The expansion’s four cards offer a focused set of additions with thematic ties to Stonespine Architects. They add variety without changing the central premise of exploring and recording the landscape.

  • Ambush card: Encounter the Slime.
  • Hero card: Call on Hortgully, the minotaur.
  • Scoring card: Earn points for different terrain types next to a mountain.
  • Explore card: Draw a mountain anywhere.

These cards create new possibilities for mountain-focused maps and scoring decisions. The scoring card rewards attention to the terrain surrounding mountains, while the explore card lets you place a mountain anywhere, offering a distinct way to shape your map.

Whether you are playing Cartographers or Cartographers Heroes, Cartographers: Architects Mini Expansion provides four concise additions designed to bring the Stonespine Mountains and their dangers into your games. Add the Slime, Hortgully, mountain scoring, and mountain exploration to enjoy more variety in your cartographic adventures.
