A calm tile-laying game set in the Pacific Northwest: each turn you draft a habitat tile and a wildlife token and grow your own landscape. At the end, your animals score by this game’s wildlife cards and your habitats by their largest connected corridors.

How to play Cascadia, in brief
Your patch of the Pacific Northwest grows from hexagon habitat tiles and animal tokens. At the end, animal patterns, your largest stretch of each habitat and unspent nature tokens all score. The highest total wins.
- Set out the marketChoose a scoring card for each of the five animals and deal everyone a starter tile. Lay out 4 habitat tiles, each with an animal token.
- Take a pairTake one tile and its token. A nature token lets you take any tile with any token, or swap out tokens.
- Place themAdd the tile touching your area, then put the token on an empty tile of yours showing that animal. On a keystone tile (one habitat, one animal) it earns a nature token.
- Play 20 turns eachThe game ends when no tile is left to refill the market: 20 turns each.
Animals by their cards, habitats by their biggest corridor.
Nothing scores during play. When the game ends, everyone counts four things: their wildlife, scored by the five cards in play this game; their largest corridor of each habitat; the corridor bonuses; and their unspent nature tokens.

|---|---|
| Each animal: bear, elk, salmon, hawk, foxBy its wildlife card this game, such as pairs of bears or runs of salmon | Its card |

| Second largest, 3 or 4 playersA tie for second scores 0 | 1 |
| Largest corridor, 2 playersTied: 1 each. Nothing for second | 2 |
| Solo: each corridor of 7 or more | 2 |
| Each nature token you kept | 1 |
- Play your 20 turnsThe game ends after the turn on which no face-down habitat tile is left to refill the display, so everyone plays exactly 20 turns.
- Score the wildlifeCount each of the five animals by its own card for this game.
- Measure each habitatFind your largest connected group of each habitat and score 1 per tile. Then compare corridors around the table and hand out the bonuses.
- Add your nature tokensEach token you did not spend is 1 point. Most points wins; a tie goes to whoever kept more nature tokens, and if that is level too, you share the win.

Common Cascadia scoring mistakes
- Adding up every corridor of a habitatOnly your single largest connected group of each habitat scores.
- Paying second place after a tie for largestWhen two or more tie for the largest corridor, nobody scores second.
- Using the bigger bonuses with 2 playersWith 2 players it is 2 for the largest corridor, 1 each if tied, and nothing for second.
- Forgetting your nature tokensEach one you kept is 1 point, and the most tokens also breaks a tie.
Cascadia scoring, answered
- How does scoring work in Cascadia?
- Only at the end: each animal scores by its wildlife card, each habitat scores 1 point per tile in your largest corridor, the biggest corridors earn bonuses, and each unspent nature token is 1 point.
- How do habitat bonuses work in Cascadia?
- With 3 or 4 players, the largest corridor of each habitat earns 3 and the second largest 1; if two tie for largest they score 2 each, three or four score 1 each, and nobody scores second. With 2 players it is 2 for the largest, or 1 each if tied.
- Is there a Cascadia scoring app?
- Tabletales keeps Cascadia scores: type each player’s final, or their wildlife, corridors, bonuses and tokens for Tabletales to add up, and it saves the game with who played. You still count the patterns yourself.
