Sets & Types
Every card in Waymark is defined by two axes: where it exists in the world and what kind of place it is.
Geography is gameplay. Your deck strategy emerges from real-world exploration and the places you've discovered.
Sets
Sets represent where a location exists in the world—its geographic region, city, or cultural area.
Waymark expands globally by adding new Sets. Each Set captures the unique character of a place: the Front Range's granite spires, the Colorado Plateau's red rock formations, New York's towering architecture.
Types
Types define what kind of place it is—its fundamental character and gameplay identity.
A Geology card harnesses Earth's raw mineral power. A Monument represents human-built structures that endure. A Wild card channels untamed natural forces. Types create strategic archetypes.
Geographic Sets
Each Set represents a distinct geographic region with its own landmarks and legendary locations.
Front Range
Colorado's eastern mountain spine. Granite peaks, sandstone flatirons, and alpine wilderness.
Colorado Plateau
Ancient stone tablelands carved by wind and water. Desert arches, red rock canyons, and geological time.
New York
The vertical city. Art Deco spires, Gothic towers, and monuments of steel and ambition.
Ancient Cities
Settlements that have endured millennia. Ruins, monuments, and structures that witnessed the rise of civilizations.
National Parks
Protected wilderness and geological wonders. Places preserved for their natural significance and raw beauty.
Coastal Regions
Where land meets ocean. Lighthouses, cliffs, harbors, and the eternal boundary between earth and sea.
Place Types
Types define gameplay identity and strategic archetype. Every location belongs to exactly one Type.
Geology
Earth's raw formations and mineral power. Mountains, canyons, rock formations, and geological wonders shaped over millions of years. Geology cards harness the planet's fundamental forces.
Examples:
The Third Flatiron, Delicate Arch, Grand Canyon, Everest Base Camp, Giant's Causeway
Strategy:
Geology builds enduring defenses and overwhelming power. Slow to deploy, impossible to remove.
Monument
Structures built to endure. Towers, bridges, lighthouses, and architectural achievements that stand as testaments to human ambition and engineering. Monument cards command the field with presence.
Examples:
Empire State Building, Golden Gate Bridge, Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, Big Ben
Strategy:
Monuments provide utility and support. They strengthen your position and create advantages.
Ruin
What remains when civilizations fall. Ancient temples, abandoned settlements, and structures reclaimed by time. Ruin cards channel historical power and the weight of ages past.
Examples:
Machu Picchu, Colosseum, Angkor Wat, Petra, Mesa Verde
Strategy:
Ruins reward patience and sacrifice. They grow stronger over time and from destruction.
Settlement
Living cities and communities. Towns, neighborhoods, cultural centers, and places where people gather. Settlement cards generate resources and create momentum through population.
Examples:
Times Square, Venice Canals, Shibuya Crossing, Old Town Prague, French Quarter
Strategy:
Settlements accelerate gameplay. They produce value quickly and enable combination plays.
Wild
Untamed natural landscapes. Forests, oceans, deserts, and places where nature remains dominant. Wild cards are unpredictable, aggressive, and respond to the flow of battle.
Examples:
Amazon Rainforest, Sahara Dunes, Great Barrier Reef, Arctic Tundra, Yellowstone Geysers
Strategy:
Wild cards adapt and evolve. They're volatile, reactive, and create chaos on the battlefield.
Building Your Deck
Strategic deck building emerges from the intersection of Sets and Types
Set Synergy
Cards from the same Set create geographical resonance. A Front Range deck channels the unified power of Colorado's mountains. A New York deck becomes a network of interconnected urban landmarks.
Type Strategy
Cards of the same Type create gameplay archetypes. Pure Geology builds unstoppable defenses. Pure Wild creates aggressive, adaptive strategies. Pure Monument provides utility and control.
Hybrid Builds
Mix Sets and Types to create unique strategies. Combine Colorado Plateau Geology with New York Monuments. Blend Ancient Cities Ruins with Coastal Wild cards. Your deck reflects your journey.
