Should I Buy It?
If you're looking for a family-friendly board game that combines fun with educational value, "Trekking The National Parks" is a brilliant choice. It's well-suited for a range of ages and offers a delightful mix of easy-to-learn mechanics with enough strategic depth to keep games interesting over time. Given its pros heavily outweigh the cons, it's a worthy addition to any game collection, especially for those who enjoy themes of exploration and nature.
My wife bought me this game for my birthday and it is already one of my favorites in our whole collection of board games. We have played it multiple times now. It only takes about 30-45 min to finish a game, so we always end up playing at least twice in a row. It is super easy to learn the rules, but there are multiple strategies to try to beat your opponent before the game ends, so the game doesn't get boring. You can try different ways to earn points each time you play through. The game has multiple goals to work toward, and the trick is to figure out how to work toward 2 or more goals at the same time. In addition to the fun gameplay it is nice to learn about and discuss the different National Parks. It has inspired us to visit them all some day! The only slightly negative thing about it - which I don't mind, personally - is that the map of the United States is a little squished horizontally. It's a lot of land to fit on a map board, so I can understand why they did it. It only stuck out to me before we played our first game but I don't even think about it anymore because it doesn't affect gameplay and the game is super fun. Final words: Great game, well designed, lots of replay value, excited to try it with more than 2 people in the future. Definitely a good purchase, IMO. I also like to rate a product by deciding whether I would buy it again if my copy got damaged or lost and YES, I would buy Trekker again.

Received Trekking The National Parks board game as a Christmas gift from my husband, and it has been a lot of fun. As National Park lovers, this board game has quickly become a favorite in our household. The combination of fast-paced gameplay, strategic elements, and the educational aspect of learning about national parks resonates well with us, as we are real-life park fans ourselves. Also, cool to see the inspiration behind the game. We've played it with adult family members (ages 20 to 54) and it has been a blast. The game is easy to learn, ensuring everyone can dive into the adventure without unnecessary complexities. The fact that it's suitable for kids aged 10 and up makes it a versatile choice for family game nights. What's truly impressive is that despite its simplicity, the game doesn't lose its charm. We haven't grown tired of it, and each playthrough offers a unique experience as we explore different national parks. Highly recommended for those who enjoy a quick, engaging, and educational board game experience. It has been a great addition to the game collection and a good substitute for Catan if you like that game and want to switch things up!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Amazing game that is not strategy-heavy, allowing casual players to enjoy it. Some aspects remind me of Ticket to Ride. Easy enough for our children that are young elementary aged to play without a while lot of assistance.

This is our new favorite family board game. I was skeptical when my wife brought it up as a Christmas gift idea, thinking it was "educational" in the usual boring way. Not at all! This is a real strategy game that also happens to introduce the national parks as a bonus. Our 6-year old daughter picked it up right away, and now asks her grandparents to play it and everyone is happy to oblige. The game mechanics will be familiar to people who play Euro-style games. There's a strong resemblance to Ticket to Ride, although with a set-collection element and the need to travel around the board to visit the parks, which fits very well with the overall theme. One interesting feature is that the trek cards, which are the currency of the game, have both numbers and colors which are used in different ways. The numbers move your player around the board, and the colors "claim" or "occupy" parks (that part is a little off-theme. You can't claim an actual national park. We all own them!). You win by visiting, claiming, or occupying parks. There is plenty of player interaction, but none of it is overly aggressive and frustrating like when the route you have been saving for in Ticket to Ride gets blocked and your entire strategy is ruined. You can bump other players back to start, like in Sorry, but the results are not as bad as it seems. Sometimes you may be want to be bumped. Someone could grab a national park card before you get there, but you can usually salvage your game by adapting to new cards that are revealed. This makes for a pleasant experience for families who still plan to live in the same house when the game is over. We've played this a handful times in the last week, and to will probably be a staple of the family game time for quite some time.

Our family enjoys playing board games, including fairly complex ones. We found the rule book straight forward and easy to understand. We also watched a tutorial for how to play. This game reminded us a bit of Ticket to Ride. We were a bit disappointed that the game seemed to end too soon (only had to explore 5 parks, which did not take long to do) and was a bit overly simplistic. The game was still fun, but we might add some house rules to increase the challenge level when we play in the future.

This is a top 10 game. It's easy to play, yet interesting every time, and it takes average 30 minutes to play (or less if you don't like too much thinking). You don't need to be a pro to win in this game. And while you're playing you are already planning which National Park you'll visit next.

Got this for my niece who loves board games. It was so much fun to play. I love that it has short videos to explain how to play. And the solo play is great, just as good as playing with other, so when her brother wonβt play with her she can play with this.
