Overview

Cascadia is a tile-laying game where players compete to create the most harmonious ecosystem. Players draft habitat tiles featuring diverse terrain such as forests, mountains, and rivers, and then strategically place them to expand their personal landscape. The challenge lies in creating contiguous regions of each habitat type while simultaneously attracting wildlife to the most advantageous locations.

Scoring is determined by both the size and arrangement of habitat areas, as well as the specific scoring objectives for each type of wildlife. Each game features a unique combination of wildlife scoring cards, ensuring varied strategies and replayability. Cascadia provides a satisfying blend of spatial reasoning and pattern recognition, offering an engaging experience for players of all skill levels.
