Parks

PARKS is an exciting board game that celebrates National Parks with magnificent art from Fifty - Nine Parks. In this game, you'll step into the shoes of two hikers. Throughout the four seasons of the year, they'll trek along different trails. As they explore, hikers can take actions and collect memories of the places they visit. These memories are shown as resource tokens such as mountains and forests. By collecting sets of these memories, you can trade them in to visit a National Park at the end of each hike. Each trail represents a season, and the trails change and get longer with each new season. The tile - represented trails are shuffled between seasons and laid out fresh for the next round. Resources can be scarce, especially when others are at the place you want to reach. Campfires let you share moments with other hikers. Canteens and Gear can boost your access to resources during the game. Balancing building your resource - gathering engine and spending resources on parks is challenging, but we're sure you can take it on. Welcome to PARKS!

How to play: First, pick your two hiker characters. Then, start moving them along the trails according to the season. As you go, take actions and collect resource tokens representing memories. Try to collect sets of these tokens so you can trade them in for a National Park visit at the end of each hike. Remember, the trails change and get longer each season. The tiles are shuffled between seasons, so be ready for new layouts. When you find it hard to get resources, use campfires to interact with other hikers and share spaces. Canteens and Gear can also help you access resources more easily. Be careful to balance building up your resource - getting ability and spending resources on parks. There's no special maintenance needed for this game. Just keep the tokens and tiles in a safe place after each use to avoid losing them.
