Archipelago

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Archipelago is a story/role-playing game by Matthijs Holter where each player controls a major character. Player take turns directing and playing out a part of their character’s story, leading them towards their selected point of destiny, while other players interact with and influence that story. 

If you like the story-telling part of games, and enjoy the creative challenge and inspiration that comes from working with others, this game is for you. If you like tactical mechanics, resource management, or player-vs-player competition, there are other games that might work better for you.

This is a charity project

The original Archipelago III rules are free to download from the Norwegian Style website. The cost of this PDF version and POD cards covers printing and the remaining profits are donated to the Mines Advisory Group (MAG) charity.

What's Included?

The deck includes 30 cards for use in play, including a summary of the rules, a ritual phrases card, 12 Fate cards, and 18 Resolution cards.

The PDF version includes a print-and-cut version of the cards for those who like to get a little crafty with their games!

These generic resolution cards are similar to those printed in the Nørwegian Style book. There, they’re used for the game Itras By. Feel free to use them for other games, if you like.

From the thumbnail and the description, I was under the impression that this pdf was something more than just the same one that can be downloaded for free from the other site. Imagine my disappointment when I found out that it's the exact same pdf, complete with spelling mistakes. It doesn't even include the extra cards for printing. I'm happy to support MAG, but I feel like I've been misled here. (And there's no chance of me ordering printed versions of the cards as shipping them to Canada is nearly $20 on top of the purchase price.)

Hi Dan,

Are you asking for a print copy of the Archipelago rules? The cards are already available as print-on-demand.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
