About the game
Heavy rains have caused havoc throughout the region. As one of the apprentice cartographers, it is up to you to use incoming reports to create an updated map of the local infrastructure and landmarks. The Council will surely reward the apprentice skilled enough to put together the most accurate map, contributing to better run aid efforts. Floodlands is a roll and write where players draw land and water onto a map, as well as buildings and resources. Each turn players roll three dice. One tells them how much land and water they are drawing, while the total of the other two tell them what buildings or resources they can draw. Once each players map is full scoring is done, and the player with the highest score is the rewarded cartographer. —description from the designer

Questions and answers
Floodlands supports 1–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Floodlands is 30–50 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Floodlands for ages 13 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
