Cascadia is a beautiful strategy board game in which players compete to create the most harmonious ecosystem. Match rivers, prairies, wetlands, forests, and mountains and populate them with different wildlife species. Each species has its own unique traits to consider, such as its ecosystem, its spatial requirements, and its connections to other animals. Simple to learn, but hard to master - Cascadia is a dual-layer puzzle. There are a variety of goals that you can mix and match, creating a brand-new experience every time you play. Explore hundreds of unique puzzles and build beautiful terrain maps in competitive, solo, and family modes. The solo mode of Cascadia elegantly replicates the 2-player experience, taking the drafting mechanics and turning them into a cascading market. Choose your pieces carefully, as the available options will change each turn. Solo mode plays quickly, and succeeds in being a relaxing, easy to learn experience. It presents suitably challenging puzzles for the player to overcome without the need to score for any AI players. If you are playing with children, or you wish to simplify the gameplay for yourself or other players, the game includes variant scoring. There are two extra options, presented as an easy mode and an intermediate mode. The easy mode makes each animal score in a similar way, reducing the number of scoring conditions the player must learn. Intermediate mode increases the challenge of the spatial puzzle, without adding complex scoring conditions. Cascadia is an accessible game that offers challenges suitable for all gamers, with approachable gameplay and strategic depth. It's a great choice whether you're searching for gateway games or in-depth strategy. You will find a great mix of long-term strategy and short-term tactics available as you work to solve each new puzzle. The team behind Cascadia knows that gamers love sharing their hobby and have worked hard to make Cascadia the perfect game to do just that. Player Count: 1-4 Time: 30-45 minutes Age: 10+ Show more
