Earn the favor of El Cascadero
Cascadero is the next epic tile placement strategy game from acclaimed designer Reiner Knizia. Ministers visit towns by placing their envoys adjacent to them; but towns are distrustful of single envoys, so newly placed envoys will only trigger town scoring when they are part of an established group or carry an official seal from El Cascadero himself. Towns with Royal Heralds at them or a history of envoy visits are even more valuable, as they willingly collaborate for even greater successes. Use your wits to rack up successes as you compete to become El Cascadero’s favored minister!
Why You’ll Love It
Elegant, Combotastic, Interactive, Replayable
Cascadero lives up to our Deep Clean Series (Trailblazers, Spectral…) by featuring deep, strategic gameplay with clean, simple rules. Simply place an envoy on your turn. That’s all there is to it. But where you place your envoy and what town scoring you trigger will make all the difference in this tight, competitive strategy game.
It ain’t called Cascadero for nothing! The unique, innovative interplay between the map and the tracks allows players to fire off cascading bonuses and combos for deliciously powerful turns. Your envoy placements can be even more potent as you spend valuable seals and gravitate to busy towns. Thanks to emergent player interaction, variable board and tile setups, and an advanced player mode, you’ll have loads of experiences to discover and enjoy across countless plays.
