Cascadia | Family Board Game | Ages 10+| 1-4 Players | 45+ Minutes Playing Time

We enjoy it as a two player game. The rules are simple, but it is challenging to build the most optimal structure (terrain/animal placement). Initially I wasn't too impressed, as it can be exausting as simple as it seems, and there's not much chitchatting as you are too focused on your "board", planning. However, a year later it has grown on me. Almost no setup (we use another draw bag for the cardboard tiles, so no shuffling and stacking needed beforehand). Not a game we play back to back, but we still played it 15 times this past year, and I don't plan on getting rid of it anytime soon. My husband who doesn't play boardgames, liked it from the start, because of the limited options, fewer rules and abstract nature. The kids (16 & 18) find it very boring though, and I think it takes too long with more players as there's a lot of downtime.

Cascadia is a very good board game. I play it with my sons (ages 14 and 6), and all of us enjoy it a lot. I like that there are no dice — everything depends on your choices and decisions, which makes you really think. For my 6-year-old, it was especially fun to see the immediate results: when you place an animal, you instantly see how many points you score. The game components are excellent: high quality, pleasant to the touch, and beautifully illustrated. I would recommend Cascadia especially for players who already have some experience with board games, since you need to understand the rules and mechanics to fully enjoy it.

Great game. Lots of permutations including family set ups. Each game we have played has been fun and interesting.

Very good game clearly understandable rules and playable solo too.

This has become one of my all time favourite games. It is pretty simple to learn and not over complicated in what you can do on your turn, but it packs in the strategy and thinking. Just brilliant and a game that I will play anytime.

Pros: Easy to learn, enjoyable to play, great animal/nature theme, visually impressive, replayability is excellent due to the card scoring elements and it's great to play on your own or with friends. Cons: You're only given 5 starter packs. So if you want to play with more than 5 people then you need to buy the game again, or buy the Landmarks expansion.

This game has a good few pieces so keep them safe. It's a beautiful colourful game and will appeal to many.

Cascadia, a two player game takes about 40 minutes, the rules are easy to follow, a little bit of strategy is involved to maximise point scoring, the additional Landmarks expansion pack is also a good purchase as it includes additional wildlife scoring cards, which adds additional strategy to the game, it's also a good single player game.

I bought this for my mum, and it is now one of her favourite games. It is easy to set up and play, with added challenges due to the different animal goal cards. The game is fairly simple to understand, too. However, personally, I find it to be relatively expensive for what it is, so I would recommend waiting for a discount.

One of our favorite games! I like that this game involves strategy while also being simple and relatively quick. We like this game for playing after the kids go to bed. This one is nice because while you do have to think through your moves, it’s easy enough to just try you best and still have fun. We could also see this as a great choice for our kids as they get older-great homeschool opportunity! Lots of rule options to make the game different. Overall a beautiful and great game!

Excelente juego, facil de jugar. 100/10

Grande gioco. Completo e bello

Pros: - Lovely looking game. Great art and lots of colour. - Turns should be relatively quick and the game keeps moving. - Simple to play but enough strategy for experienced tabletop gamers to play again and again. - Pretty simple to learn with a Youtube video and casually checking the rule book (short and clear). - Lots of ways to score. Increases playability and everyone can win with a different style. - Left us wanting to play again and improve. - Able to be simplified to play with kids (included in box). - It’s just really enjoyable to play. Building your own ecosystem is a pleasure; even if I lose, I can enjoy placing each tile and animal and feeling like I’m making progress. - While sometimes being able to limit other players choices (a fun strategy), players are able to have influence over what options they have through earned tokens. We found this a great feature that keeps you from feeling helpless. - Play time is great; gets you into the game but you don’t feel like its dragging. - Quality tiles and pieces, like the cloth bag. - Has loads of expansion potential which I’m sure we’ll see in the coming years. - The creators care about the theme, and it shows. The rulebook has some interesting information about each landscape and animal which is a bonus, especially with kids. Cons: - Players who over-analyze every play will make the game a lot less enjoyable. - Not much of a conversational game. I could see a future expansion that adds elements of interaction between players. I definitely recommend it.
