January 5th Brings Maps of Misterra from Sit Down Games

Early next year will see the release of the cartography game Maps of Misterra from Sit Down Games. In the game players will aim to score point while mapping a mysterious island. Maps of Misterra is for one to four players, ages 10+, plays in around 45 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $34.99 when it lands January 5th.

About the game:

In Maps of Misterra, you play as explorers have discovered a mystical and unknown island. Your goal: Explore the island and complete your personal and hidden objectives while proposing a correct cartography of the island to earn maximum points.

To set up, place a central board representing the island on the table, and give each player a personal map they will use to transcribe their discoveries. Each turn, players choose two actions among these:

• Move their explorer pawn on the central board.
• Discover new terrains close to your explorer pawn, choosing from four randomly drawn tiles.
• Claim control of areas.

A type of terrain on the central island must be explored twice before being validated. Thus, the unvalidated terrain types can change — “You thought you saw grass? You were mistaken.” — and then your personal map will no longer match the central board.

You have to find the ideal balance between your personal objectives, and a correct cartography of the island.
