    What You Do

    A calm map-deduction puzzle set at a cartographer's desk. Three explorers' journals each hold part of the truth: place landmarks on an 8×8 map until every note agrees, then plan a route from the village to the port that holds up against rivers, weather, food and tides. Twelve regions across four short expedition stories.

    Stamp each landmark where the notes allow, draw a route tile by tile from the village to the port, check the forecast for days and food, and send the party off — a failed plan can be edited and retried as often as you like.

    How It Plays

    1. Read the notes — each journal entry narrows down where a landmark can stand.

    2. Stamp and route — place the landmarks, then draw a path square by square, bridging rivers or detouring around them.

    3. Dispatch the expedition — check the forecast, send the party, and earn up to three seals in each region.
