{"product_id":"parks","title":"Parks","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrek across magnificent wilderness trails, snap breathtaking photos, and visit iconic national monuments in a gorgeously serene, medium-weight strategy game that utilizes a shifting time-track movement mechanic and a tight resource collection engine.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParks (designed by Henry Audubon and published by Keymaster Games) serves as a stunningly beautiful celebration of the US National Parks, featuring breathtaking artwork from the Fifty-Nine Parks Print Series. Moving away from highly aggressive territory battles or high-stress economic systems, this game focuses on tactical spatial efficiency and cozy resource management. The core objective is a satisfying, four-season travel journey: players guide a pair of hikers down an ever-changing wilderness trail, gathering memories like sunlight, water, and mountains to successfully purchase entry to majestic National Parks and secure victory points before winter concludes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary strategic hurdle centers around maximizing your resource collection layout while managing the restrictive blocking mechanics of the linear trail grid. Turn order is beautifully dynamic and driven by a time-track system: players can jump their hikers as far forward down the trail as they want to lock down a high-value resource space, but they can never move backward. Any space occupied by another hiker is blocked, forcing you to carefully spend your limited, once-per-season Campfire tokens to share a spot with a rival. True tactical mastery requires balancing your immediate resource spending on Gear cards with filling your Canteen tokens for ongoing bonuses, choosing exactly when to hold back to gather extra tokens, and out-maneuvering your fellow travelers to secure the highest-scoring park combinations across a deeply relaxing 30-to-60 minute session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGame Specs at a Glance:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAge Range: 10+ Years\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Keymaster Games\u003cbr\u003ePlay Time: 30-60 Minutes\u003cbr\u003ePlayer Count: 1-5 Players\u003cbr\u003eComplexity: Low-Medium (Linear Worker Movement, Set Collection, Resource Management, Variable Board Setup)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in the Box?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Central Shared Board Layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e48 Oversized US National Park Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 Modular Trail Site Tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 Wooden Hiker Meeples and 1 Wooden Camera Token\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e80+ Wooden Resource Tokens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 Wildlife Tokens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Plastic Trays with Removable Lids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Trail Guide Rulebook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gnome Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52645776228639,"sku":"KYM 0502","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/9080\/5791\/files\/parks-board-game-box-display.jpg?v=1782757448","url":"https:\/\/gnomegames.com\/products\/parks","provider":"Gnome Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
