Read the full game description
Map Masters is a cooperative dungeon-building game in which each player develops a connected section of the party’s map. Draw path cards, place them into a compact five-card dungeon, and coordinate routes that reach objectives without trapping the group. Discoveries and coins open new options in the market, while mission-specific pressures force the team to balance immediate progress against a stronger layout. Solo and cooperative scenarios turn the same deck-construction puzzle into a varied campaign of individual missions without requiring persistent bookkeeping.
