CORRECTIONS:
1. Weather tokens are placed on the SECOND tile and onward, which means the left-most trail tile shouldn't have a weather token on it.
2. At 40:02 the purple player forgets to flip their campfire token over when visiting an occupied location.
3. At 48:45 Green should have received one water from the current "Season of Reefs" card because they took at least one forest token on their turn.

Great video. Your way of explaining the rules as you go instead of overloading at the beginning makes for a very enjoyable learning experience. And keeping a 3-player playthrough under 1 hour while doing that is quite impressive. I have been eyeing this game based on the art alone but after watching this I think it's definitely worth purchasing. Thanks!

This was by far the best explanation of how this game really works. Thanks!

My gosh.. not gonna lie, I was apprehensive about watching the whole thing after I saw it was an hour. But honestly I’m a bit dual learner, and this was so comprehensive, I’m really grateful you made it! Thank you for referencing all of the canteen and gear cards so nothing was lost on the viewer. Really helpful video - thank you so much for making it!!

I've been looking for this game for quite some time, but it's been just a little expensive. Well, after watching your video, I decided it was worth the price and bought it.

Excellent video. My favorite way to learn is playing through it. No fluff and every players decision was thought out and shared. Well done

Great video! I actually understand how to play now. I had watched several other videos and this is by far the easiest to comprehend! You are a great teacher!

[valfrez]

Thank you, this is by far the best explanation on how the game is played.

Great job as usual, Jon. This is the second tutorial I watch about parks but only with yours I managed to follow till the end (skipping part of the play) and understand the rules. Thx a lot!

What a coincidence, I was just thinking to get this game today!

[NickMcNabb]

Looking forward to giving this one a go at the convention I'm attending this weekend. Really clear and concise teach and playthrough as always - thanks!

[jpbbantigue]

Very helpful. I just got my game delivered to my house but when my wife and I tried reading through the rules and guide, it was kind of overwhelming. Your video made it easier to follow. The game itself isn't that difficult to play but it was a bit overwhelming at first.

Brilliant playthrough! I was rooting for you the whole time, Jon! NICE

I just got this game. I liked what I saw so I am looking forward to playing it.

Sadly, this is exactly why I don't watch simple tutorial videos (which are nothing more than much better produced "Rahdo" videos). I understand the extra time and stress full playthroughs add to you and it is ultimately free content. I just need to see playthroughs to their end (sorry). Thank you for your hard work and dedication though. It is not lost. Thank you. Much love from France.

Thanks so much! We always have a game night with our friends on New Year's Eve, and I was hoping to play this. I bought it for our family for Christmas with New Year's in mind. My hiking partner is the one we play games with - I think this is perfect for us to play together. And with your tutorial, I'm ready to go tomorrow! Happy New Year!

Another great tutorial video! The last one I had watched was Great Western Trail (which I still have to play and will probably have to watch your tutorial again before I play). But I'm hoping to get Parks to the table tomorrow. Cheers!

[sherlockhomeless]

Thank you so much! I will now be able to teach and play it myself :)

[WaywardNys]

Great video as always! I'm gonna be playing this game for the first time this week and your video prepared me well :)

[yannisguerra]

Great playthrough Jon, as usual you make me want to buy the game right away😁
