Product Description:

Produced by a family who personally visited every national park, this game will give you the trekking bug as well! Players compete to claim the most victory points by visiting and/or claiming parks, camping at the major parks, and collecting stones. The board is a map of the United States, with 45 national parks identified in their approximate location. Stones are placed on each park at the beginning of the game. Each turn, players choose two actions: Draw a Trek, Claim a Park, Move, or Occupy a Major Park. Trek cards have different icons and numbers and are used to move and to claim park cards. The first player to land on any park gets to claim the stone; you can only claim a park if it is one of the 3 park cards turned up at the bottom of the board and the right Trek cards are in your hand. If you visit and set up camp at a Major Park, you are granted some special abilities. Each park card has beautiful park photography and information, so you can learn as you play! 2-5 players, game time is approximately 30-60 minutes. ~ Megan
