Read the full game description
Cascadia Junior adapts the habitat-building puzzle of Cascadia for younger players and families. On each turn, players draft a habitat tile and place it beside their growing landscape, then match the habitats shown to collect wildlife tokens. Completing a group of three matching animals earns a sighting token for the player’s panorama, while flipped sighting tokens reveal pine cones that help determine the winner. A basic game offers a welcoming first step into drafting and pattern building, and an advanced mode adds more choices once everyone understands the flow.
