Why Carthoryn is a map

A chart room, not a casino floor

Most casino-style sites look like a wall of flashing tiles. We wanted the opposite: a calm place where every game has a location, a short description and a full set of rules, and where you can see your whole session at a glance. A survey map felt right. Each game is a site you visit on purpose, and the field key on its page tells you exactly how it works before you play.

The look comes from the stones on a cartographer's desk: agate slices whose bands look like contour lines, geodes, fluorite and malachite, and the brass tools used to measure the land. All of our pictures were made for Carthoryn and show no real game, brand or person.

What we will not do

We do not sell anything. There is no shop, no paid ink, no subscription and no extras. We do not use daily visits, countdowns or expiring rewards to bring you back. We do not show invented players or results, and we do not compare ourselves with real-money gambling. The games are played for ink, which has no cash value, and playing or success here does not imply future success at real-money gambling.

How the games are made

Every game runs entirely in your browser. Its rules and numbers come from one file that the page also prints, so the field key and the game can never disagree. We tested each one over at least a million simulated rounds, and Survey Grid with our helper's play, before it went on the map.
