WELCOME • Parks: Wildlife includes more wildlife sight-
ings, more Seasons, more Gear, more Canteens, more Sites,
and last but not least, more Parks! This guide will get you all
the details so you can start hiking to new heights in no time.
NEW CARDS • All of the new Canteen, Gear, Season,
and Park cards can be shuffled into their matching decks.
NEW SETUP • At the start of the game, each player is
dealt two Canteens and two Year cards—use the New Year
cards if playing with Parks: Nightfall. Players then choose to
keep one Canteen—placing it faceup in front of them—and one
Year card—placing it facedown in secret. The other cards are
discarded to the bottom of their matching deck. In base Parks,
the Year deck is returned to the box as normal.

Similarly during gameplay, when a player
GAINS A CANTEEN
they will now draw two Canteen cards—keeping one and
discarding the other to the bottom of the deck.
When setting up the Trail for the first Season, find the
PARK
/ GEAR
Advanced Site. In Parks: Wildlife, this site is always
used as the Advanced Trail Site for Season 1 and on.

Now, shuffle all Advanced Trail Sites from the base game and
this expansion. Place three facedown next to the Trail Head
and return the rest to the box. These three will be the Advanced
Sites for the following Seasons—meaning not every Advanced
Site will make an appearance in each game. Details on each of
the new Advanced Sites can be found on the back page.
Lastly, similar to Nightfall, each player should start the game
with a token.
BISON MEEPLE • Parks: Wildlife also
incorporates a bison meeple, symbolizing a
wildlife sighting at a Park. After setup, place the
Bison on top of the leftmost Park card on the board.
Whenever a player visits the Bison’s Park, they may also
. This may be done before or after visiting the Park,
but the Park must always be visited as part of the action. If done
before, the

can be used toward visiting the Park.
The Bison then moves to the next Park to the right—regardless
of whether the player activates the Bison’s Wildlife action. A
new Park immediately comes out as usual. If a player still has
Instant or Gear Actions remaining, then they may continue to
use them—which may include visiting the Bison’s new Park.
Once the Bison moves off the rightmost available Park, it does
not go to top of the Parks deck. Instead, it moves back to the

---

leftmost Park. When this happens, the active player—the one
who just visited the Bison’s Park —chooses to discard an avail-
able
GEAR card to the bottom of the deck and reveals a new one.
The Bison’s Park can never be reserved. When reserving, play-
ers may still reserve the other two available Parks without the
Bison or one from the top of the deck as usual.
NEW PARKS • The new Iconic Wildlife Parks now have a
Wildlife requirement as part of their cost. As seen in Nightfall,
some of the new Parks also have
Instant Actions to the
right of the token requirement. These activate immediately
upon visiting and include: Visit or Reserve a Park,
Gain a Canteen, or

Gain a Wildlife token.
ADDITIONAL NOTES • Don’t forget to activate any

Instant Actions when purchasing a
GEAR. Some actions
allow you to take a
using a specific resource token such
as . If you have the Camera, you may use one of any
resource instead as usual.
STAMPEDE VARIANT • If you would like to see more
Gear cards at lower player counts, try this variant. When the
Bison returns to the leftmost Park, discard all three available
GEAR (instead of only one) and reveal three new ones.
Similar to Nightfall, we recommend the WILDLOVE Variant where Wild-
life can equal to 2 of the brown ANY TOKEN symbol, i.e.
