Trekking the National Parks: Third Edition is a family strategy game inspired by real journeys through America’s parks. Players draft multi-use Trek cards, spending their numbers to move between locations or their icons to explore park cards and camp at major parks. Route timing, hand management, and set collection determine who reaches valuable destinations and assembles the best stone collection. The third edition adds a dedicated solo mode, friendly tie scoring, a scorepad, revised terminology, new stone molds, expanded park writing, and new artwork.
