Pros and Cons
Pros

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, provide each player with a map sheet and a colored pencil. Shuffle the station cards to form the draw pile and place the five objective cards in a visible area for all players. The game is entirely self-contained, requiring no additional hardware or mobile apps. To ensure the longevity of your set, keep the map pad in a dry location to prevent page curling and ensure all four pencils are sharpened before starting a session. Because the game relies on paper sheets, consider laminating one copy if you plan to play frequently to save on paper consumption.
