Caldera Park

Caldera Park is a charming game that invites you to build a beautiful and thriving national park. The core gameplay involves strategically placing animal tokens on your park board, aiming to create large families and secure access to vital watering holes. It's a puzzle-based game that's easy to learn, thanks to its simple rules.

The core mechanics are enjoyable and engaging. The challenge lies in predicting your opponents' moves and adapting your strategy accordingly. I found the game to be both strategic and tense, as you constantly need to think ahead and adjust your plans. It's a great game for people who enjoy a bit of luck, as the weather tokens can sometimes throw a wrench into your plans, making for interesting surprises.

Caldera Park is a great choice for anyone who enjoys tile-laying games and the strategic planning aspect. It's definitely a step up from Savannah Park, with more depth and complexity that adds to the overall experience. I particularly enjoyed the beautiful artwork and the way the game creates a sense of competition and cooperation among players.

I highly recommend Caldera Park for families and friends who enjoy a fun, strategic, and visually appealing board game. It's a great way to spend an afternoon and will leave you wanting to play again!
