Description
In Chartae, players take the role of cartographers who try to remember and build an ancient map.
The game is made of only nine square tiles, which represent parts of a map. Each tile has a land zone and a water zone. One player tries to connect land zones, the other water zones. Every turn they have to decide whether they want to rotate a tile or place a new one. When the map is complete, the player who connected the most zones wins.
Chartae is an almost perfect information, minimal but elegant tile placement game, with easy gameplay but also deep strategy.

Quotes (from this video)
- The art of this game was stunning. Like really, I know I've seen photos of the art, but in person, the art is even better. Really, really beautiful art.
- Um it was really over it was overwhelming uh to try to keep track of all the different amount of information.
- The genius of this system, other than the interaction, the drafting, there's a ton of interaction in this game. We talked about interaction earlier, purely positive in this game.
- The true genius I think is that it makes the game so easy to teach because if I don't know how to play, all I have to do is sit down next to someone who does know how to play and they can coach me through it on the fly.
- Wingspan is one of the bestselling games of all time.
- And just the illustrations by Natalyia and Anna
- Rolling Realms is a truly multiplayer solitire game where there is by design no interaction with other players.
- The formula for wingspan's longevity, replayability, and success.
- The art of this game was stunning.
- Being able to teach a game in that way in real time spreading players out around the table I think is brilliant.
- The dispatch is incredible and you can turn off a lot of the QuickTime events and sort of enjoy it as a show as well.
- I think crowdfunding as wonderful as it is um I think it can limit a game's evergreen potential because there's so much of the focus out of the gate and not on longevity and retail support and ongoing ways to to get and uh and build out that game.
