In the 'Draw' phase, players choose the revealed terrains or shapes and draw them in any orientation on their personal map. When my family liked our initial games so much that they wanted to keep playing (and started keeping colored pencils handy for online game night, just in case), I bought more sheets and split them among us, and I'll probably need to get more still.

In solo mode, a simple but effective rule dictates where and how you’ll draw the monsters on your map.

Cards are the only other component and they are a fine quality, although they are a bit thin and my fat fumbly fingers have marred a couple of them already trying to pry them off a solid surface. It also will work quite over webcam/Zoom/whatever with a number of folks… when an ambush card shows up, each player can just use the solitaire rules for monster placement.The rules changes are also simple enough that I would play this one with my family over Zoom, no question.
