Description provided by the creator on YouTube:
In the captivating realm of Maps of Misterra, you step into the shoes of intrepid explorers who have stumbled upon a mystical and uncharted island. Your mission: Navigate the island's mysteries, fulfill your personal objectives hidden within its depths, all while crafting an accurate map of the island to accrue maximum points.
Setting the stage involves placing the island's central board at the heart of your gaming table, alongside issuing each player their own personal map to document their findings. Every turn presents players with a pivotal choice from a menu of actions:
Maneuver your explorer pawn across the central board, charting new territories as you go.
Unveil the secrets of uncharted lands adjacent to your explorer pawn, selecting from a pool of four tiles drawn at random.
Stake your claim on coveted regions of the island, solidifying your control.
It's worth noting that certain terrain types on the central island require exploration twice before they can be officially documented. This adds a layer of intrigue as the landscape can shift unexpectedly—"That patch of grass? It may not be what it seems"—leading to a misalignment between your personal map and the central board.
Success in Maps of Misterra hinges on striking the delicate balance between pursuing your personal objectives and meticulously charting the island's geography. So, gather your wits and embark on an unforgettable journey through the unknown!

About Maps of Misterra, from BoardGameGeek:
In Maps of Misterra, you play as explorers have discovered a mystical and unknown island. Your goal: Explore the island and complete your personal and hidden objectives while proposing a correct cartography of the island to earn maximum points.
To set up, place a central board representing the island on the table, and give each player a personal map they will use to transcribe their discoveries. Each turn, players choose two actions among these:
Move their explorer pawn on the central board.
Discover new terrains close to your explorer pawn, choosing from four randomly drawn tiles.
Claim control of areas.
A type of terrain on the central island must be explored twice before being validated. Thus, the unvalidated terrain types can change - "You thought you saw grass? You were mistaken." - and then your personal map will no longer match the central board.
You have to find the ideal balance between your personal objectives, and a correct cartography of the island.
