What will you see on your adventure in Cascadia? On your turn, build out your map and match animals and habitats to add sightings to your panorama and score points! Cascadia Junior lets younger players experience the spatial puzzle of the award-winning board game Cascadia. This standalone game teaches pattern building, set collection, and basic addition. Learn about bears, hawks, elk, salmon, and foxes in this diverse land of mountains, wetlands, prairies, rivers, and forests!

In Cascadia Junior, players take turns drafting habitat tiles and adding them to their environment. They must try to match the same habitats to grow their habitat corridors and score more points while creating groups of three wildlife icons on connected tiles. Once they make matches, they earn wildlife and habitat sighting tokens that they can add to their panorama board, where they will make their own personal picture of the Cascadian wilderness! At the end of the game, all players flip over their sighting tokens to discover the conifer cones they have collected. The player with the most cones wins!

Cascadia Junior is a stepping stone game that will allow children to learn the basics of pattern matching. Over time, they can use the included wildlife scoring cards with the advanced mode, which requires more complex shapes for each wildlife group. Once children gain familiarity with that mode, they can try out the family mode of the base Cascadia game and eventually the full Cascadia experience!
