Cascadia: Alpine Lakes

Get ready to expand your natural paradise in Cascadia: Alpine Lakes, the standalone sequel that takes the experience of the award-winning Cascadia to new heights—literally! If you enjoyed creating diverse ecosystems in the first game, you'll love the new features here. The core gameplay of selecting pairs of habitat tiles and wildlife tokens remains, but now with a three-dimensional twist. Habitat tiles are double-hexagons and can be stacked, transforming your board into a constantly growing mountain landscape. The goal is the same: assemble the most diverse environment and score as much as possible. Each game brings a new challenge, with unique combinations of scoring objectives focused on how the five wildlife species fit into the three distinct alpine habitats. Scoring for how well your lakes and animals are surrounded and elevated adds an extra layer of strategy. Environment and habitat scoring cards ensure that each game is a fresh experience, with thousands of possibilities. The open drafting mechanic lets you choose what you need, but watch out for what you leave for others! Pattern building and end-game bonuses remain crucial for victory. It's a spatial puzzle that becomes more complex and rewarding with each turn, perfect for those seeking a strategic challenge with accessible rules and a relaxing theme. Ideal for families and solo players, Cascadia: Alpine Lakes promises hours of fun and replayability.
