Cascadia: Alpine Lakes - Kickstarter Edition

Overview

Cascadia: Alpine Lakes - Kickstarter Edition is a standalone follow‑up to Cascadia that adds elevation, double‑hex tiles, and alpine wildlife to the beloved tile‑drafting and token‑placement puzzle. Designed for players who enjoy spatial planning and peaceful yet strategic gameplay, this Kickstarter Edition bundles deluxe components and campaign‑exclusive content that expand replayability and table presence.

What's included (Kickstarter Edition)

• 84 unique double‑hex habitat tiles (Forests, Meadows, Glaciers)
• 4 unique starter habitat tiles
• 90 deluxe wooden wildlife tokens (silkscreened)
• 34 nature tokens for special actions
• 27 unique Environment Scoring cards
• 12 Habitat Scoring cards (unique)
• 1 Family/Intermediate scoring card
• 1 Wildlife Elevation scoring card
• 1 Lake scoring card
• 1 deluxe cloth bag for drafting
• 1 full‑color scorepad and full‑color rulebook
• Kickstarter exclusives: Pristine Peaks mini‑expansion components and Alpine Animals promo for the original Cascadia

How to play

Players draft tiles and wildlife tokens to build connected habitats across a shared landscape, aiming to satisfy habitat scoring objectives and wildlife placement bonuses. Alpine Lakes introduces elevation: certain tiles can be stacked to create vertical habitats that change scoring outcomes, and lake features score differently depending on elevation and surrounding tiles. The double‑hex tiles increase placement variety and spatial puzzles, encouraging forward planning and adaptable strategies. Sessions remain streamlined and family‑friendly while offering deeper spatial challenges than the original Cascadia.

Kickstarter exclusives & stretch goals

The Kickstarter Edition includes backer‑only content unlocked during the campaign: the Pristine Peaks mini‑expansion (additional Environment and Habitat scoring cards, plus a unique lake scoring card) and the Alpine Animals promo for integrating the new wooden wildlife tokens into the original Cascadia. Deluxe wooden tokens, upgraded components, and any further stretch‑goal content unlocked during the campaign are included in this edition.

Why buy the Kickstarter edition

Choose the Kickstarter Edition for the full Alpine Lakes experience: premium wooden wildlife tokens, unique scoring cards, and exclusive mini‑expansions that increase variety and replay value.
