One note, when you first showed a hiker taking the camping action (the tent) you grabbed the weather token too. To be clear, if you choose to camp, you do not take the weather token. You either take the regular actions, including the weather token, OR you camp.

The game-end year cards were the weakest part of Parks for me. This new replacement idea is so much better. Really looking forward to giving it a try.

I enjoyed the fact that you could get multiple year cards and without a doubt the instant action Parks were a very welcome addition

[victorgonzalez]

Yeah I agree. The biggest drawback is not being able to put it into the core box.

Even the base game you can’t sleeve the cards and get them to fit into the insert.

I can overlook these negatives though.

[nosrednadnomyar]

Thank you

I agree with everything here. Specifically the box though. Hopefully if the game extends beyond America to a Canadian expansion or what have you, there is a deluxe box that fits the original and the expansions but the insert fits too well in the core set to toss.

thanks for the review. This seems to improve the game in my mind. i enjoyed the original game but felt too tied to those cards, glad to see them changed. the beauty of the artwork kept me coming back though.

[TomDeFrank]

you said "too completion" and "pitch a tent" in the first 60 seconds of this video. you do good work, zee

[rb]

got this a few weeks ago but my regular game partner being isolated, I didnt get to try yet but im happy to hear of the changes and how they seem to work very well in game. Yay!

[Max-pjkm]

I play mostly 2-3 players and I can fit everything into the base game box.

[wanghiskhan]

I held off on backing on KS because we enjoy the base game but we didn't play enough to need an expansion yet. Still haven't played it in about a year now. But this does sound like an improvement with the year cards alone.

[ButOneThingIsNeedful]

Sweet! Hoping to get it for my wife and me (and sometimes our friend) to play! (Parks + Nightfall, that is.)

[esoteridactyl]

So glad those new year cards. The old ones were not good at all

[TreesEyes]

I hope one day they make an australian parks and expansion.🙏

[JamesV]

I'd buy it just for the artwork to be honest, but Parka is also a great game in its own right!

[BrunoBaronet]

Thanks Zee, you helped me make up my mind. Cheers

[NileSings]

I'll be picking Parks up to play solo then and getting Nightfall for when I can play with family💓

[matissmatiss]

Just an idea, You could add “Player Count” to the target audiance blocks for reviews

[larrye]

You have a new option... You can now pitch a tent. 🤣

I know.... I'm an idiot.

Question: When you move back to the core game after playing the Nightfall expansion, should the Nightfall park cards be removed. Or, do the Nightfall park cards stay in the deck and the instant actions are just ignored? Thanks!
