Welcome to Parks – where every trail leads to new wonders, every stream flows with new life, every sunset creates new memories, and every mountain rises with new possibilities as you explore the breathtaking beauty and wild nature of the USA’s 63 national parks.This expanded and improved second edition of the bestselling game features brand new illustrations by artists Josh Emrich and Lisk Feng, introduces new game elements from designer Henry Audubon, and gathers the most popular ideas from Parks games and expansions: the camping module from Parks: Nightfall, the animal integrations from Parks: Wildlife, and a carefully curated collection of players' favorite gear, challenges, and mechanics from five years of Parks history – plus a few brand new surprises.Over three rounds (called Seasons), you send your two hikers out on the trail. Here they visit stops along the way, gather resources to visit parks, take photos of stunning views, and encounter wildlife. Along the way, you gain gear that enhances your journey, camp, fill your water bottle for special bonuses, and follow your unique passion for the outdoors.When the third season ends, the journey – and the game – is over. Count your points and see who has had the greatest nature experience in Acadia, Grand Teton, Mount Rainier, Crater Lake, Everglades, Denali, Canyonlands, and the rest of the USA’s magnificent national parks.
