About the game

What you do in a play session

You know that special touch that completely changes your strategy? The Cartographer Backstory promo card is exactly that for those who already enjoy the Roll Player universe. Instead of a full game, we are talking about a single component: a 'Backstory' card that adds a new layer of customization to your hero. Originally, this item was included as a bonus for those who purchased Cartographers, creating a cool link between these two titles.

In Roll Player, the fun lies in building the perfect character using dice as if they were attributes. With this Backstory card, you gain a specific advantage or characteristic from the start of the match, which forces you to think of different paths to optimize your score. It's the kind of content that, while small, tweaks the drafting dynamics and the way you collect your attribute sets.

It's worth remembering that, being a promotional item, it doesn't change the basic rules of the game, but it offers that extra 'spice' for those who love testing different builds. If you already own the base game and want to expand your character creation possibilities, this card is a great find. It's a small upgrade that brings more variety to the table, ensuring that each game feels distinct depending on which backstory is in play. For the strategist who loves to optimize every detail of their character sheet to crush the competition, having the Cartographer in your arsenal is the right move.
