This is a combo tile showing a random selection of 3 out of 5 terrain types (Mountains, Forests, Prairies, Wetlands, and Rivers). There’s also a Family variant Wildlife Scoring Card which replaces all 5 individual animal goals with a single objective which is great for younger or less experienced gamers.įinally set the Nature Tokens (pine cones) off to one side but within easy reach and give everybody a 3 hex Habitat Starter tile. A is the simplest set which is good for your first few games. They are spatially based, placement optimisation goals and you can play with a single set or mix and match (so long as you have one of each species). Each one includes the 5 animals in the game: Bears, Elk, Salmon, Hawk, and Fox. Randomly pick 4 Habitat Tiles and 4 Wildlife Tokens and pair them up in a row – this is your common pool. Then place the Wildlife Tokens in the cloth bag and give them a jiggle. It works out to 20 per player plus an extra 3. I’m in no rush as I get to indulge my passion for it all over again by showing you how to play! Set It Up, Randyįirst shuffle the hex Habitat Tiles and stack them up face down – the number of tiles in the game depends on player count (43/63/83 for a 1-2/3/4 player game).

Made some tweaks for the PC version.Do you like games where your brain simultaneously relaxes and works at the same time? I most certainly do and Cascadia is definitely one of those games for me. Big thanks to Hazar Khall for the insight and method for the Xbox One version. Demanding the vassal option, oddly, makes YOU the vassal.

Under the diplomacy options when talking to another player, demand "you become overlord". Something that will also help speed things up is asking for contact info for the different people as you meet so each person does not have to meet all three themselves. It doesn't matter which commander gets the win, you will still earn the achievement. Once you start meeting the other commanders you can negotiate with them and create an overlord. Do not worry about doing anything but exploring. Even on a small map this will take some time. You now want to split all troops up and have them auto explore so they can de-fog the map.

The rest of the stuff you can leave alone, although removing NPC factions can make interactions a bit easier. In the world options make it a small world with a land landmass type to ensure all of the commanders can easily meet. Turn all four commanders to humans so you can control them all. You are now going to go to the right hand side of the screen and click on advanced options. From the main menu choose "New Planet." Within the scenarios menu choose the frontier world option.
