1633, Padua, Italy.

You are one of Galileo's disciples, an illustrious scientist who has already revolutionized astronomy and mechanics multiple times. Your master calls for your help as he is about to be tried in Rome for heresy.

The publication of his astronomical treatise has indeed incurred the wrath of the Inquisition. Will you manage to gather enough evidence to convince those involved in the trial to change their minds?
A historical booklet, written with the help of specialists, also provides additional information for each scenario.

The simple and innovative Cartaventura game system allows each scenario to be replayed multiple times to discover all possible endings (5 different endings per scenario). There is no rulebook; all instructions are directly indicated on the cards!

How do you play the game?

Game Setup


Each player reads the initial context and the characters they embody. The game consists of scenario cards and an accompanying 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 progresses linearly but with many narrative分支.

Win/Loss Condition


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

Our Tips for Winning

  • Understanding the narrative implications


    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 takes on its full richness when played with others. Discuss options, compare risks, and try to build a collective decision rather than an individual one.

  • Adopt a realistic survival mindset

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