There are few board games with the wide appeal of Cascadia. The wholesome 'ecology exploration' theme takes place in the Pacific Northwest. The mechanics are simple, so players will pick one of four pairs of animal tokens and terrain hexes to add to their growing maps.
The aim is to satisfy a random range of scoring cards by getting animals into particular patterns, and there are difficulty ranges to satisfy casual and more intensive players. Ranging in difficulty from an easy family version to challenging gamer-level objectives. There’s even a solo campaign where you’re tasked with crossing off a range of variants and objectives. If there ever was a game for everyone, this is the one.
