Flatout Games, the designers of Calico (see "Cozy Up to 'Calico'") and Truffle Shuffle (see "Unwrap Fun With 'Truffle Shuffle'") , is teaming up with AEG again for the retail release of Cascadia. This game, designed by Randy Flynn with art by Beth Sobel, is a tile and token drafting game set in the habitats and wildlife of the Pacific Northwest. The goal of the game is to score points by building harmonious spatial arrangements of wildlife, which eventually form large areas of continuous habitats. It is for one to four players, ages 10 and up, and plays in 30 to 45 minutes.
Cascadia raised $272,856 with 9,153 backers ($30 per backer) on Kickstarter. This game will be made available worldwide to retailers through AEG. There has been no word on MSRP as of the publication of this article.
