Parks

PARKS is a thrilling celebration of the US National Parks, showcasing magnificent art from Fifty - Nine Parks. In this game, players step into the shoes of two hikers on year - long treks across various trails through all four seasons. As they journey, hikers take actions and gather memories of visited places, represented by resource tokens like mountains and forests. By collecting these memories in sets, players can trade them to visit a National Park at the end of each hike. Each trail corresponds to a season, with trails changing and getting longer each time. The tile - represented trails are shuffled between seasons. Resources can be scarce, especially when others are at your destination. Campfires let you share moments with fellow hikers, and canteens and gear enhance resource access. Balancing resource building and park visits is challenging but rewarding. Welcome to PARKS!

How to play: First, set up the game board with the tiles representing the trails for the first season. Each player takes on the role of a hiker. As you move your hikers along the trails, take actions and collect resource tokens to represent memories of the places you visit. Try to collect these tokens in sets so you can trade them in to visit a National Park at the end of each hike. Remember, each season the trails change, so shuffle the tiles and lay them out anew. Tips: Keep an eye on other hikers because resources can be hard to get when someone else is at the place you want to reach. Use campfires to share space and time with others, and don't forget to use canteens and gear to improve your access to resources. Maintenance: Store the game components in a dry and cool place to keep the tiles and tokens in good condition. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
