What's New in Cartographers

1.6

May 20, 2026

This update brings several improvements to make the experience more stable and reliable: Gold Card: Fixed an issue where the underworld view was not saved correctly when using the Gold Card. Tap areas: We've reworked touch and click targets throughout the app. Elements now respond more accurately to input — safe areas are correctly recalculated after tapping. Tutor: Fixed an issue with the tutor's start and end points, so the guided introduction now runs smoothly from beginning to end. New visuals: Updated artwork and images have been integrated. We've also made additional stability improvements under the hood.

Best game ever

This game is so much fun, I absolutely love it.
I hope they will add more of the expansions and the ability to make it multiplayer!

Good game

Good game, challenging, fun, and mostly relaxing… the solo variant scores are a bit unrealistic, but otherwise a good game. I learned more about the game by playing this way (in addition to bga and in-person play).

Cartographers is my go-to game on the phone

Cartographers is my go to game on my phone. Ten minutes. Great puzzle. And it’s great on the table too!

Long animations

Fun game but scoring animations take too long. Developer mentioned a way to speed it up, but even at top speed they take about 50 seconds every game. With games around four minutes, this means 1/4 of the game is spent waiting. The score is already on the card, the animations just break down the total, they’re not giving new information. Raised rating from 2 to 3
