What it is about
World Shaper is a solo game of exploration, creation, and illustration. You travel through a world that you help shape. At each stage of your journey, you choose a direction and a feature of the landscape that you wish to influence. The rest of the landscape is partly beyond your control and determined by chance. From these constraints, you interpret the landscape that emerges and draw it. Each new card expands the world. The cards you draw remain part of the world and can be kept for future games. From one game to the next, the territory grows and preserves the traces of those who shaped it. World Shaper has no predetermined scenario, score, victory, or defeat. The world is not an answer to be found. It is a landscape to be imagined.
