Product Information

It's easy to learn, plays quickly, and has enough variation to keep things interesting with repeated playthroughs . You can use these tokens at any time to take any combination of tile and token available, instead of the pairs laid out or wipe any number of animal discs back into the bag. Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. Explore hundreds of unique puzzles and build beautiful terrain maps in competitive, solo, and family modes. Okay, so once picked, you must place your tile next to an existing hex in your region so that at least one side is touching another tile.

While it will not be everyone’s cup of tea, if you like tile-laying and puzzles it is definitely worth your time. The number of Habitat Tiles in the pool depends on the number of competing conversationists around the table, but the set-up and gameplay is the same for single or multiplayer. Each turn you pick one Habitat Tile and associated Wildlife Token from the 4 randomly paired choices on offer.Ultimately, whoever scores the most Cascadia points (don’t forget unused Nature Tokens score 1 point too! When you have placed your tile and token, you discard the furthest pair in the pool and then move the remaining two pairs along. At the start of a game of Cascadia, you will randomly select a scoring card for each of the games five animals. First shuffle the hex Habitat Tiles and stack them up face down – the number of tiles in the game depends on player count (43/63/83 for a 1-2/3/4 player game). When I need a little game that allows me to ponder, look at nice components and stunning animal art, Cascadia is up there with the best of them.

The two newly created spaces then get refreshed with randomly drawn tiles and tokens from a stack of Habitat tiles on the far left of the draw line and Wildlife Tokens from the bag. The scoring objectives are juicy point providers, but it’s impossible to achieve them all and get the corridor bonuses in just 20 turns. It’s relatively quick to play, offers a nice puzzle to solve and still gives you plenty of decisions to make.

Intermediate mode increases the challenge of the spatial puzzle, without adding complex scoring conditions. You can mix up the scoring using different cards and every game does feel slightly different depending on what comes out of the bag. I would say that solo Cascadia encourages a slightly different strategy to regular multiplayer mode.

Only one Wildlife Token can be placed on each tile, and once it has settled there, no uprooting it to somewhere else!You start with three hexagonal habitat tiles (with five types of habitat in the game), and on a turn you choose a new habitat tile that\'s paired with a wildlife token, then place that tile next to your other ones and place the wildlife token on an appropriate habitat.
