The goal

After four seasons, have the most points from parks, photos and your personal Year card.

How it plays

  1. 1Everyone has two hikers. On your turn move one of them forward along the trail to any site with no hiker on it (never backward) and take its action: mostly gaining tokens of sun, water, forest or mountain, or trading, or taking a photo.
  2. 2To stop on an occupied site you must put out your campfire. It can be used once, and is relit only when one of your hikers reaches the trail's end.
  3. 3At the trail's end a hiker does one of three things: reserve a park, buy gear, or visit a park by paying the tokens it shows, for its points.
  4. 4When every hiker has finished, the season ends: the player with the camera may take a photo, a new site is added and the trail is laid out again for the next season.

How you win

After the fourth season, add up the points on parks you visited, 1 point per photo, and your Year card's bonus. The highest total wins.

First time?

  • You can only walk forward, so rushing costs you a lot of tokens.
  • You may hold at most 12 tokens; spend them rather than hoard.
