Cascadia: Alpine Lakes is a standalone, 3D tile-stacking follow-up to the hit spatial puzzle board game Cascadia, released in 2026 by Flatout Games and co-published by AEG. While it retains the simple draft-and-place loop of the original, it takes the landscape design of the Pacific Northwest into the vertical dimension.
Key Mechanics & What's New
- Double-Hex Tiles: Unlike the single hexagons of the original game, players draft and place double-hexagon habitat tiles to expand their environment more rapidly.
- Vertical Stacking: Players can now stack tiles on top of existing layers to build up mountain elevations (typically up to levels 3 or 4), creating a three-dimensional spatial puzzle. A new tile must be placed at least one level higher than an adjacent tile without overhanging.
- New Wildlife: The game introduces five new alpine animals: Eagles, Mountain Goats, Pikas, Marmots, and Cougars.
- Shifted Scoring Focus: In a departure from the original, wildlife tokens do not score points directly based on their individual pattern shapes. Instead, scoring is tied to terrain-specific habitat cards (Forest, Meadow, Glacier) that evaluate how wildlife arrangements are organized within those specific corridors.
- Lakes & Elevation Bonus: Players score points for creating alpine lakes, which yield higher rewards the more elevated they are and the better they are surrounded by other tiles. A specialized Wildlife Elevation Scoring Card also grants bonus points for having the highest-elevation token of each animal type
