Cascadia Tournament Rules - ALL ABOARD EXPO 2025
Published on  Updated on  

It’s time to craft the perfect ecosystem in the Cascadia tournament! Strategically place habitats and attract diverse wildlife to claim victory. Will your region flourish with harmony, or will your rivals outmaneuver you?

Minimum Players: 8
Maximum Players: 16
Time Limit per game: 40 mins

 

SET-UP:

Promotional wildlife scoring cards will not be used. Seating, start player, starter tiles, and scoring cards will be selected at random. Habitat and keystone tiles will be shuffled and distributed from a pile. 

Wildlife tokens will be placed, whenever necessary, from left to right, with the rightmost being located beside the pool of nature tokens. 

All players should confirm that all required wildlife tokens are in the drawbag before the start of the game.

 

TOURNAMENT RULES:

All wildlife tokens shall be drawn one at a time.  If more than one is ever drawn at once, then all of those tokens will be placed back in the draw bag, with another player having the opportunity to shake the bag before a single replacement tile is drawn.

Once a pair of tokens and tile has been taken from the center, players are not allowed to exchange it.

Players must finalize their placements before the next player can take their turn. Players are encouraged to verbally announce that they have ended their turn as a courtesy.

Players must clearly announce the use of their nature token on their turn.

Players must clearly announce if they will be resolving overpopulation.

 

TIME LIMIT: 

The time limit for each match is 1 hour. If players are still in the game after 1 hour has elapsed, they finish the round (so that everyone plays the same number of rounds), and we will then proceed to scoring. 

Players are expected to take their turns within 2 minutes. If a player takes too long, a Judge will issue a warning and instruct them to finish promptly. If the player still doesn’t act, a second warning will be given. Then the Judge will take the leftmost tile and add it to the player’s largest terrain type. The animal pair will be returned to the bag. Each player can receive up to two warnings. A third infraction results in disqualification, and the player’s future turns will be skipped.

 

TIE BREAKER:

Ties within games will be broken by the following:

  1. The player with the most nature tokens (base game rules).

  2. The player with the most number of largest habitat corridors.

  3. The player with the most tiles from their largest habitat corridor.

  4. The player who went later in the turn order.

 

PRIZE:

1st Place: Rolling Heights

2nd Place: Rolling Hills

3rd Place: Rolling Rivers

* Participation: Cascadia Promo Card
