In each season—three rounds total—you choose routes, gather resources, snap breathtaking landscape photos, and encounter wildlife. The "Contracts" mechanic has you signing goals that earn points when completed, while "Events" pop up occasionally, changing the dynamics and requiring quick decisions. The "Turn Order: Claim Action" system adds a strategic twist, as the first to claim the order gains an advantage in the round. "Worker Placement" keeps the pace, with worker tokens placed in locations to perform actions, gather resources, or earn bonuses. At the end of the third season, points are tallied and the player with the greatest park experience wins. The expanded edition brings fresh artwork, the extra camping module from Nightfall, the animal integrations from Wildlife, and a set of gear, challenges, and mechanics that fans loved in previous years. For those who enjoy exploration, nature, and planning challenges, Parks is the perfect trail. If you love light strategy games focused on collecting and planning, you’ll fall in love with every step of the way.\n\nThe game lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, accommodates 1 to 5 players, and can be played solo thanks to the "Solo / Solitaire Game" mechanic. The difficulty is medium, requiring attention to route planning and resource management, but it’s not too complicated for newcomers. Components are solid: a sturdy board, worker tokens, contract and photo cards, and a set of event dice that add a touch of unpredictability. If you enjoy feeling like a real-world explorer, Parks will take you on a gameplay experience that blends adventure, strategy, and a nostalgic nod to American landscapes. ## FAQ ### How long does a game of Parks last?
