Parks (Second Edition)

Players guide two hikers along scenic trails over three rounds called Seasons, moving pawns between trail sites to gather resources, take photos, and visit national parks. The game uses park cards and an advancing board to represent the 63 U.S. National Parks, each offering endgame points and special effects. Along the trail, players acquire gear upgrades, fill a canteen for bonuses, camp overnight for benefits, and encounter wildlife and challenges that modify actions. Resource management, route planning, and timing determine which parks and bonuses a player can claim before the final scoring.
