Cascadia is a 2021 board game designed by Randy Flynn and published by Flatout Games. In Cascadia, players draft and add habitat tokens and matching wildlife tokens to score victory points based on various scoring conditions.
First thing to do is remove habitat tiles according to the Setup in the rulebook depending on player count. Choose a set of Wildlife Scoring Cards and lay them out for all to see. Then, give each player a random starting board and decide on the first player. Place stacks of the remaining habitat tiles face down, the bag of wildlife tokens and nature tokens within easy reach. Finally reveal four habitat tiles face up, and four nature tokens to create the market.
The gameplay is very simple, on your turn you take one of the four face-up tiles, and the animal token that has been allocated beside it. The tile has to go adjacent to your starter board or another tile. And the token has to be placed on a tile with a matching symbol. If that tile has a nature token on it, you also take the nature token.
