Parks
Walk two hikers down a trail and trade what you gather for national park visits.
What it is
Each season you walk two hikers down a trail, picking up resources, taking photos and meeting wildlife. At the end of the trail you trade what you gathered to visit national parks for points. It is a calm game, perfect for outdoors families and anyone who likes something lovely on the table. The second edition, out in 2025, covers all 63 US national parks with new art and reworked rules.
What we love
- The first edition's park cards are known for their national park poster art.
- Hikers only walk forward, so grabbing a far space means leaving closer ones behind.
- Listings for the second edition say 1% of every sale goes to the National Park Service.
Honest trade-offs
- The second edition swapped the classic poster art for new art, so check which box you are buying.
- Games run longer with more players, and some prefer it at three or fewer.
- Interaction is light, and park draws can leave end-game goals out of reach.
