Cascadia Junior is a simpler version of Cascadia for younger players. Each player builds a wildlife scene from hexagonal tiles showing animals and habitats.
On your turn, take one of two tiles from the market and add it next to your other tiles. When you get three of the same animal next to each other, you take a sighting token. At the end, you also score for groups of three or more matching habitats. The player with the most pinecones wins.
