Beyond The Edges of The Maps is a two-player territory exploration game inspired by the world of The Wingfeather Saga<\/a>. Players sail their ships and explore land in order to surround and discover more territory than their opponent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each turn, a player moves their ship to discover more land and also adds more land pieces to represent exploring uncharted territory. While players take turns moving and adding land pieces to the board, each player will try to discover more territory and overtake their opponent, eventually surrounding their opponent and claiming victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objective<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Beyond The Edges of The Maps, or \u201cBeyond The Maps\u201d, or even just \u201cEdges\u201d as some call it, two players sail the world and discover land. The player with the most land discovered when the game ends is the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Materials Needed to Play<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To play Beyond The Maps, players will need a board, ship tokens, and land markers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Board<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Beyond The Maps is played on a large grid of squares. An 18×18 grid is the common full game, and a 12×12 is common for a shorter game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ship Tokens<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Each player needs one ship token. In the game, the ship sails across the sea and discovers land. Most commonly, a ship token will match the color of the player\u2019s land markers. But all that is required is that each ship is unique in some way to distinguish who it belongs to. Players will often carry their own handmade ship token to play with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Land Markers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Each player needs a sufficient number of land markers. Each set of land markers should be a different color, most commonly one player will be dark and one player will be light. Land markers need only to fit inside the squares on the board and are commonly made of dark colored stones or light colored stones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game Setup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To begin the game, players place their ships in opposite corners of the board. The player who most recently touched their face to a ship\u2019s sail goes first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On a turn, a player will take two actions: explore by sea and explore by land. The actions may happen in any order, but it is most common to explore by sea first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exception is on the first player\u2019s first turn, where they must only explore by sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explore By Sea Action<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To explore by sea, a player moves their ship through any spaces not claimed by land (empty spaces and the opponent\u2019s ship) between 0 and 6 spaces to land on an empty space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the movement has ended, the player places a land marker on the square that the ship would move to if it moved one more step in the same direction it just moved. See examples (ship moves and highlighted land marker is placed):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the ship stays in the same space instead of moving, a land marker may be placed on any adjacent space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
