Cascadia (NL)

For those who like to wander around in nature and have a big animal heart, there is the board game Cascadia. Cascadia is a nature-rich area in the west of North America. This area contains many different types of nature with different types of animals in each area. The nature reserve borders the Rocky Mountains on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other.

In the game Cascadia, players must create a varied nature area that is habitable for the different animals in the game. The animals that occur in the area are: grizzly bears, Roosevelt elk, chinook salmon, red-tailed hawks and red foxes.

The game consists of different types of tiles, including nature area tiles and habitat tiles. With these tiles, players can create their own nature area. Certain animals can live on each tile, depending on the type of area depicted. On your turn, you take a combination of tile and animal from the offer and place it in your playing area. When composing the nature areas, the number of animals and how these animals connect to each other must be taken into account. Different points are awarded for each different shape or group size.

The player who has found the perfect relationship between animal and nature after twenty rounds may call himself the winner of Cascadia. The number of points that each player receives depends on the extent to which you have fulfilled the wishes of the animal species and the habitats that you have created in your playing area.
