Description Cascadia: Alpine Lakes is a standalone follow-up to the hit spatial puzzle game Cascadia! In this gorgeous new puzzly tile-layering game for the whole family, players c ontinue the journey started in Cascadia to create the most diverse Pacific Northwest environment as they draft new double-hexagon habitat tiles and unique new wildlife tokens to build out, and up, their beautiful landscape mosaic. Players add elevation to the mix, stacking tiles on top of one another in their environment to take the game to new heights! Each game of Cascadia: Alpine Lakes features unique combinations of scoring objectives linked to how the five wildlife species are arranged across three different alpine habitats. Players also score for how well surrounded and elevated their lakes and wildlife are. Habitat and environment scoring cards add unique scoring conditions so that each game of Cascadia: Alpine Lakes provides a new spatial challenge - there are thousands of possible combinations. Turns are simple - players familiar with Cascadia will be right at home. Simply choose a habitat tile and wildlife token pair and place them into your expanding environment. This time, each habitat tile is a double-hexagon and tiles can be stacked. Many of the core game mechanics are similar to Cascadia, but the twist is that each habitat scores in different ways and your environment is now a three-dimensional spatial puzzle with new stacking and adjacency challenges - taking Cascadia to new heights!
