Cascadia

Cascadia delivers a serene yet satisfying puzzle experience where players draft and place hexagonal habitat tiles alongside wildlife tokens to create thriving Pacific Northwest ecosystems. Each turn presents meaningful decisions: which tile-and-token pairing serves your growing landscape best? The genius lies in its dual-scoring system—habitats reward specific tile patterns while each animal species scores differently, creating delicious tension between competing objectives. The game flows smoothly with minimal downtime, offering that 'just one more turn' appeal as players watch their personal tableaus flourish. Cascadia feels contemplative and accessible, with enough strategic depth to engage experienced gamers while remaining welcoming to families. The nature theme resonates beautifully through artwork and tactile components, evoking the peaceful satisfaction of watching wildlife settle into their perfect homes. Victory comes from balancing competing goals and adapting to available options—never stressful, always engaging.
