Who it's for

Parks fans or anyone who likes outdoorsy themes and calm planning. Particularly nice as a two-player evening game.

Not for you if…

You want conflict or big surprises. It is peaceful and puzzly, and the interaction is light.

Vibe's take

A calm, scenic walk with a gentle ticking clock: the sun sinks and your choices change. Plenty to ponder without a headache, and the artwork does half the relaxing.

About this game

Trails is a standalone game in the Parks series, sending you on a hike through iconic sites and national parks across the United States. You walk back and forth along a trail, collecting rocks, acorns, and leaves, taking photos, and spotting wildlife for bonuses. At the trailhead and the trail's end, you turn in resources for badges, then head back the other way. Every time someone reaches the trail end, the sun sinks lower, and as night falls, trail sites grant stronger actions but will not last. When the sun leaves the trail, a final round decides the winner by badges, photos, and bird sightings. It plays two to four in about 40 minutes.
