Description

Cascadia: Landmarks is an expansion for the board game Cascadia by Alderac Entertainment Group (AEG) that enhances gameplay by adding natural landmarks to the habitats players create. This expansion brings new strategic depth through dynamic end game scoring bonuses linked to these landmarks, giving each habitat a distinctive look and feel.

Key features of the Cascadia: Landmarks expansion include:

• Landmarks Module: Introduces 30 deluxe wooden landmark tokens that players place on habitat tiles once they complete corridors of five or more contiguous tiles of the same habitat type (forests, mountains, prairies, wetlands, rivers). Each player can claim one landmark per habitat type.
• New Scoring Mechanics: Players gain access to 60 unique Landmark Scoring Cards with special scoring conditions that add varied and competitive goals. These cards are drawn based on player count and can affect scoring related to habitat corridors and wildlife.
• Additional Components: 45 unique habitat tiles and 5 unique starter tiles to expand board variety, 35 wildlife tokens plus 15 new wildlife scoring cards, increasing diversity in animal scoring. 15 nature tokens and a full-color scorepad updated to reflect the landmark scoring mechanics and a rules booklet explaining the expanded gameplay including solo and multi-player variants (1-6 players).
• Increased Player Capacity: The expansion contains enough pieces to support up to 6 players (base Cascadia originally supports fewer), broadening multiplayer options.
• Gameplay Experience: The game continues with tile placement, wildlife token drafting, and pattern building but now revolves around achieving corridor completion to place landmarks, with more tactical decisions on tile and token placement to optimize scoring from landmarks, wildlife, and habitats.
• Suggested Age: 10 years and older
• Playtime: Approximately 30-45 minutes.

The expansion has been designed by the original creators Randy Flynn, Molly Johnson, Robert Melvin, and Shawn Stankewich to seamlessly integrate with Cascadia's base game while offering new challenges and expansions to its ecosystem-building theme.
