Cascadia Junior (NL) - Board game

Cascadia Junior

Cascadia Junior takes younger players on an adventure through the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest. On each turn, players choose a habitat tile, add it to their growing map, and place matching animals to form sets of three. These wildlife trios earn sighting tokens that are added to a personal panorama board, creating a beautiful nature scene while teaching pattern building, set collection and basic addition in a gentle, family-friendly way.

Key Features:

• Junior version of award-winning Cascadia: A streamlined, standalone game that lets kids experience the spatial puzzle of the hit title without overwhelming rules or scoring.

• Designed for ages 6 and up: Simple turns, open information and clear iconography make it easy for young players to join in while still keeping adults engaged.

• Build your own habitat map: Connect mountains, wetlands, prairies, rivers and forests while placing bears, elk, foxes, hawks and salmon where they belong.

• Form wildlife trios for big rewards: Group three identical animals to gain wildlife sighting tokens and place them on your panorama board for satisfying visual and scoring payoffs.

• Basic and advanced modes: Start with the introductory rules, then add wildlife scoring cards for more complex shapes and patterns as kids grow in confidence.

• Quick family game for 2–4 players: With a typical playtime of about 20–30 minutes, Cascadia Junior fits easily into busy family schedules and game nights.

• Beautiful, kid-friendly production: Bright, colorful tiles and tokens with art by Beth Sobel make the game inviting to children while still looking great on the table.
