## Description
Get ready to crawl dungeons in Map Masters, a card game that puts you in the shoes of an adventurer seeking legendary treasures! With each card played, you build your path through dark rooms, tracing routes and connecting discoveries. Whether in solo, cooperative, or competitive mode, Map Masters offers unique challenges for every taste.

In the competitive (Versus) mode, each player builds their own dungeon with cards and then charts their path to collect as many discoveries as possible that match the round's objectives. Points are earned by discoveries aligned with the primary and secondary objectives. Additionally, you can use coins to boost your deck by purchasing new cards and tokens from the Market, and optimize your choices with special abilities encountered along the way.

In the cooperative mode, the group unites to manage a band of adventurers and complete missions together. Communication and strategy are key! After setting up the scenario and the market, players explore the dungeon, placing cards and tracing paths to connect objectives. Success depends on collaboration to overcome each challenge and achieve victory as a team. With a modular board and varied scenarios, each game promises to be a new adventure, where every decision counts!

Map Masters is ideal for those who enjoy deck-building and route-building games, with a touch of puzzle and exploration. It adapts well for quick matches or longer sessions, depending on the chosen mode, and replayability is guaranteed by the variety of maps and scenarios.
