Build nature. Respect balance. And see who has the most strategic fox.
In Cascadia, you don't build cities, you build ecosystems. A strategic and relaxing board game that transports you to the heart of the Pacific Northwest, where every tile you place and every animal you deploy can bring you closer to perfect harmony... or bring chaos to your nature.
You'll need to combine landscapes and animals in clever patterns, taking advantage of open drafts, hex positioning, and variable objectives . Bears to mate, deer to connect, hawks that want isolation, and foxes that demand variety: each animal has its own needs, and it's up to you to satisfy them in the most elegant way possible.
Because "Cascadia" is one of those games you never put down.
- 🌲 Relaxed strategy : few rules, many possibilities and no boring turns
- 🦊 Always different objectives : each animal has 4 scoring variants, for extremely high replayability
- 🎴 Open Draft : Choose the best of tiles and animals… or whatever's left
- 🌄 A game that is “beautiful to breathe” : landscapes, animals, colors and shapes that create harmony on the table
- 🧘 Perfect for solo play : challenge nature even when you're alone… and relax while you optimize
If you're looking for a family board game that's strategic yet accessible , where every game is a landscape coming to life, Cascadia is your refuge . A deserved bestseller, an elegant puzzle, an experience to be savored like a walk in the woods.
And yes, the fox wins again. But only if you play it right.

Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Build your ecosystem one tile at a time.
In this tile-laying and drafting board game , each player expands their personal ecosystem from three starting hexes. Each turn, you choose a pair of habitat tiles and an animal tokens and add them to your landscape.
2. Place logically: habitat and animals must match.
The habitat tiles show 1-3 possible animal types , and each animal can only be placed on a compatible type. The trick is to optimize both the placement of territories (to create homogeneous areas) and that of animals, following specific patterns that vary with each game.
3. Collect points for the best combinations.
At the end of the game, you score points in two ways: for the largest groups of each habitat type and for animal objectives , chosen randomly from multiple cards. For example, otters reward chains, hawks want to stay alone, and deer seek out specific shapes.
4. Use nature tokens to break the rules.
If a tile+animal combination doesn't appeal to you, you can spend a nature token to split the choice. These tokens are earned by placing animals on tiles where they are the only ones represented, and offer strategic flexibility in crucial moments.
5. Whoever creates the most harmonious landscape wins.
At the end, whoever scores the most points across habitats and fauna wins. Cascadia is a strategic yet relaxing board game , with simple rules, great depth, and extremely replayable play thanks to the different objective combinations.

Cascadia – Nature Can't Be Controlled, It Gets Stuck
No one will tell you if you're winning… but you'll understand when you look at your ecosystem.
Cascadia is not a simple board game, it is a gentle tension : each animal has its own needs, each terrain its own language.
Solitary foxes, pairs of bears, schools of salmon gliding through the forests.
You have few turns, many decisions, and never enough space. But when everything fits together, even just for a moment... you'll feel part of something perfect.
Cascadia – A strategic board game of tile placement and balanced ecosystems
Cascadia is a board game for 1-4 players that combines pattern building, drafting, and hex tiles into a strategic and relaxing experience.
Each turn you choose a habitat + animal pair and place it in your area: the key is to fit the tiles together to create coherent areas , while placing the animals following variable objectives.
There are hawks that don't want neighbors, moose that want to stay in line, foxes that seek variety. Each game has different scoring rules , but the pleasure of matching remains the same.
Perfect for those looking for an abstract game with a natural soul , elegant in its materials and profound in its choices.
We played it… and now we're counting points even in the woods 🐸
Cascadia is quiet, but it hits you hard .
Every turn is a compromise between "what do I need" and "what can I afford." And while you're thinking about optimizing, the board becomes beautiful , almost by accident.
We've played it with experts and families, and it works for everyone: easy for newbies, cruel for those seeking perfection.
If you love solo games or want a board game that calms the mind but ignites the brain , trust me: Cascadia is a must-have.
