AEG | 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.

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.

Very good game clearly understandable rules and playable solo too.

Amazing game, so fun and nice quality

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.

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.
