Parks is an engaging game of hiking and memories as players visit our National Parks. The game features artwork from the Fifty-Nine Parks series and plays in under an hour. The rules are easy to follow, and kids must carefully manage their resources to make the best trip imaginable. Thanks to the game’s beautiful illustrations, kids discover the awe-inspiring vistas and natural beauty preserved around us. Throw in some great inserts that make set up a breeze, high-quality components, and you’ve got yourself a phenomenal game.

Game Overview

In PARKS, players will take on the role of two hikers as they trek through different trails across four seasons of the year. While on the trail, these hikers will take actions and collect memories of the places your hikers visit. These memories are represented by various resource tokens like mountains and forests. Collecting these memories in sets will allow players to trade them in to visit a National Park at the end of each hike.
