Parks (2nd Edition) is an atmospheric board game inspired by the century-long history of the American National Park System. The game is renowned for its stunning artistic illustrations, each depicting a different national park in a unique style.

In Parks, 1 to 5 players travel along a path through four seasons and a variety of landscapes. Along the way, you visit locations to gather resources, take photographs, purchase gear, or visit parks to collect valuable memory cards. These memories are converted into points at the end of the game.

The game combines an accessible worker-placement mechanism with strategic decisions about order and timing: being earlier on the path grants more choices, while waiting can also offer certain advantages. This creates tension and interesting decisions with every turn.

Strengths:

• Breathtaking artwork from multiple illustrators, inspired by vintage national park posters
• Accessible rules, suitable for both new and experienced board gamers
• Relatively short playtime, perfect for a quick yet strategic game
• High replayability thanks to a variable setup and diverse park cards
• Supports 1 to 5 players, including a fully-featured solo mode
