I think I enjoy this SLIGHTLY less than vanilla Cartographers. I'm not sure I love the heroes and the slightly more intricate ambush cards. The simplicity, clarity of the original game tickles my fancy a bit more.

The stand alone expansion introduced new monsters which have additional ongoing effects and heroes that have unique weapons that can help control monsters on the map and potentially help the rest of the game. {[microbadge=1007]:[microbadge=5]::1:1} [microbadge=46463] Solo High score: 67

[microbadge=34746] Rating this higher than the original because of the added hero mechanism and the lovely gender representation - love playing it with coloured pencils either solo or with friends, and it's great for Zoom too.
