Cascadia Board Game: Alpine Lakes Kickstarter Edition is a stand-alone tile-layering game in the Cascadia universe that takes the beloved tile and token-drafting and environment-building to new heights!
The game comes with a variety of Habitat and Environment Scoring Cards, allowing you to mix and match new challenges and create new combos each and every time you play! There are limitless unique game setups to explore!
The Kickstarter Edition of Cascadia: Alpine Lakes features the Pristine Peaks Mini-Expansion which expansion includes 1 unique double-sided Lake Scoring Card, 6 Unique Habitat Scoring Cards, and 9 Unique Environment Scoring Cards! With these additional cards, players will have new ways to play that create new spatial challenges and add completely new gameplay elements!
In this gorgeous new puzzly tile-layering game for the whole family, players continue the journey started in Cascadia to create the most diverse Pacific Northwest environment as they draft new double-hexagon habitat tiles and unique new wildlife tokens to build out, and up, their beautiful landscape mosaic. Players add elevation to the mix, stacking tiles on top of one another in their environment to take the game to new heights!
Each game of Cascadia: Alpine Lakes features unique combinations of scoring objectives linked to how the five wildlife species are arranged across three different alpine habitats. Players also score for how well surrounded and elevated their lakes and wildlife are. Habitat and environment scoring cards add unique scoring conditions so that each game of Cascadia: Alpine Lakes provides a new spatial challenge - there are thousands of possible combinations.
Turns are simple - players familiar with Cascadia will be right at home. Simply choose a habitat tile and wildlife token pair and place them into your expanding environment. This time, each habitat tile is a double-hexagon and tiles can be stacked. Many of the core game mechanics are similar to Cascadia, but the twist is that each habitat scores in different ways and your environment is now a three-dimensional spatial puzzle with new stacking and adjacency challenges - taking Cascadia to new heights!
Cascadia is a gorgeous spatial puzzle game for the whole family! Take a journey to the Pacific Northwest as you compete to create the most harmonious ecosystem in Cascadia!
In the game, you take turns building out your own terrain area and populating it with wildlife. You start with three hexagonal habitat tiles (with five types of habitat in the game), and on a turn you choose a new habitat tile that's paired with a wildlife token, then place that tile next to your other ones and place the wildlife token on an appropriate habitat. (Each tile depicts 1-3 types of wildlife from the five types in the game, and you can place at most one tile on a habitat.) Four tiles are on display, with each tile being paired at random with a wildlife token, so you must make the best of what's available - unless you have a nature token to spend so that you can pick your choice of each item. Ideally you can place habitat tiles to create matching terrain that reduces fragmentation and creates wildlife corridors, mostly because you score for the largest area of each type of habitat at game's end, with a bonus if your group is larger than each other player's. At the same time, you want to place wildlife tokens so that you can maximize the number of points scored by them, with the wildlife goals being determined at random by one of the three scoring cards for each type of wildlife. Maybe hawks want to be separate from other hawks, while foxes want lots of different animals surrounding them and bears want to be in pairs. Can you make it happen?
THe Kickstarter Edition includes the Kickstarter mini expansion including 5 Wildlife Scoring Cards and 1 Rule sheet.
In Cascadia: Landmarks expansion, players create sprawling habitats and place beautiful natural landmarks within them. Landmarks give each environment its own look and feel, while also providing dynamic endgame scoring bonuses!

From the team that brought you Calico, Cascadia and Verdant comes Nocturne; a puzzly spatial bidding and set collection game of sly mystics set in a whimsical moonlit forest illustrated by Beth Sobel!
In Nocturne, you play as a fox mystic casting magic spells to collect an assortment of enchanted items. You compete against rival mystics, each of you deciding when to cast the most powerful spells to move through the forest most cunningly to secure the best collection. Each turn you decide which items are most valuable to you and when to hold the other mystics back.
Through two rounds (twilight and moonlight), players compete to collect the strongest sets of magical items like firebird feathers, creature skulls, glowing mushrooms, mysterious eggs, and rare herbs. These items have value when collected in specific sets, but can also be combined to fulfill recipes needed for concoctions, scoring you even more prestige!
Each round you begin with a set of numbered tokens that represent your spell strengths. These tokens are used to cast spells and bid on a grid of items (and special actions) on the forest floor. Once you cast a spell, your rival mystics will have an opportunity to cast a more powerful spell onto an adjacent item, hoping to compel it towards them and prevent you from collecting what you need! As the forest is explored, different conditions of magical control will restrict pathways, leading to strategic situations in which players can "corner cast" and secure multiple items with less powerful spells. If your spell casting comes up short, you can always make an offering to the forest sprites, magical mice that have their own cache of treasures they may share with you, giving you further options to expand your collection.
The set-up of the forest grid and twilight and moonlight goals, along with concoction cards and special player abilities in each game, provide great variability so that no two games of Nocturne will play out the same. Different spatial goals and situations will necessitate different strategies and tactics to outwit your opponents in this highly interactive and unique spatial bidding game!
