Cascadia is an enigmatic tile-laying and token-collection game featuring the habitats and wildlife of the Pacific Northwest.
In the game, players take turns expanding their own territory and populating it with wildlife. You start with three hexagonal habitat tiles (with five types of habitat in the game), and during a turn you choose a new habitat tile that is paired with a nature token, then place that tile next to your others and place the nature token on a suitable habitat. (Each tile depicts 1–3 types of wildlife from the five types in the game, and you may place a maximum of one tile on a habitat.) There are four tiles on display, with each tile randomly paired with a nature token, so you must make the best of what is available — unless you have a nature token to spend, in which case you can choose your preference for each item.
