Trekking the National Parks

Nice quality board and accessories, and an engaging, educational array of national park information on the cards. Our first game took longer than usual as we were learning. We plan to watch the video on game play to make sure we have interpreted the instructions correctly, but it's a good game. I think many board games are too expensive though, including this one, but the quality is there.

Love, love, love this game! Our family has different opinions about interesting board games but this one caught the attention of everyone! I have 8 & 10 yrs old both loved it, its easy to learn even though might feel challenging with the rules it got, very creative how many steps it had to keep the fun going, introduces the national parks and its colors are beautiful and the board size is just right! We so far enjoyed it for 3 nights straight, tons of fun definitely recommend and worth the price!

This game is really fun for 2 people (probably for more as well but so far just me and my partner). It's easy to get a hold of the rules and it's fun competition. The game ends quite quickly when people collect 5 National parks, so to make it more fun me and my partner remove this rule and play until all stones are collected.

My wife bought me this game for my birthday and it is already one of my favorites in our whole collection of board games. We have played it multiple times now. It only takes about 30-45 min to finish a game, so we always end up playing at least twice in a row. It is super easy to learn the rules, but there are multiple strategies to try to beat your opponent before the game ends, so the game doesn't get boring. You can try different ways to earn points each time you play through. The game has multiple goals to work toward, and the trick is to figure out how to work toward 2 or more goals at the same time. In addition to the fun gameplay it is nice to learn about and discuss the different National Parks. It has inspired us to visit them all some day! The only slightly negative thing about it - which I don't mind, personally - is that the map of the United States is a little squished horizontally. It's a lot of land to fit on a map board, so I can understand why they did it. It only stuck out to me before we played our first game but I don't even think about it anymore because it doesn't affect gameplay and the game is super fun. Final words: Great game, well designed, lots of replay value, excited to try it with more than 2 people in the future. Definitely a good purchase, IMO. I also like to rate a product by deciding whether I would buy it again if my copy got damaged or lost and YES, I would buy Trekker again.

Received Trekking The National Parks board game as a Christmas gift from my husband, and it has been a lot of fun. As National Park lovers, this board game has quickly become a favorite in our household. The combination of fast-paced gameplay, strategic elements, and the educational aspect of learning about national parks resonates well with us, as we are real-life park fans ourselves. Also, cool to see the inspiration behind the game. We've played it with adult family members (ages 20 to 54) and it has been a blast. The game is easy to learn, ensuring everyone can dive into the adventure without unnecessary complexities. The fact that it's suitable for kids aged 10 and up makes it a versatile choice for family game nights. What's truly impressive is that despite its simplicity, the game doesn't lose its charm. We haven't grown tired of it, and each playthrough offers a unique experience as we explore different national parks. Highly recommended for those who enjoy a quick, engaging, and educational board game experience. It has been a great addition to the game collection and a good substitute for Catan if you like that game and want to switch things up!
