How to play the game?

Game Setup


Each player familiarizes themselves with the initial context and the characters they embody. The game consists of scenario cards and a companion booklet. The cards are shuffled and placed in a pile according to the setup instructions.

Gameplay outline


At each step, a card is revealed and read aloud. It describes a situation, an event, or a choice to be made. Players must then make a decision from the options provided. Depending on the choice made, a new card is drawn, advancing the story. The game unfolds linearly but with many narrative branching points.

Win/Loss Condition


There is no classic victory or defeat. The goal is to see the story through to the end based on your decisions. Each path leads to a different ending, more or less favorable depending on the choices made and the consequences encountered.

  • Understanding the Narrative Consequences


    In Cartaventura: Every choice has an immediate or future impact. It is essential to read the cards carefully to anticipate possible consequences and avoid overly impulsive decisions.

  • Cooperate and discuss decisions

    The game becomes richer when played with others. Discuss options, compare risks, and try to build a collective rather than an individual decision.

  • Adopt a realistic survival mindset

    The best choices are not always the most optimistic. Think in terms of survival, caution, and limited resources to advance further in the adventure.
