Cascadia

Welcome to Cascadia, where you’ll embark on an enchanting journey to create your very own thriving ecosystem! In this captivating tile-placement and token-drafting game featuring the habitats and wildlife of the Pacific Northwest, you’ll strategically select and arrange habitat tiles to attract diverse wildlife and earn points. With each decision, you’ll shape the landscape and watch as your ecosystem flourishes before your eyes. Get ready to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and unleash your creativity in Cascadia!

In the game, you take turns building out your own terrain area and populating it with wildlife.

Ideally you can place habitat tiles to create matching terrain that reduces fragmentation and creates wildlife corridors, mostly because you score for the largest area of each type of habitat at game’s end, with a bonus if your group is larger than each other player’s. At the same time, you want to place wildlife tokens so that you can maximize the number of points scored by them, with the wildlife goals being determined at random by one of the four scoring cards for each type of wildlife. Maybe hawks want to be separate from other hawks, while foxes want lots of different animals surrounding them and bears want to be in pairs. Can you make it happen?
