Trekking the National Parks Board Game
So many national parks, so little time to hike and camp and do #2s (and then bury them like a responsible nature lover) in them all. Well fret not, my dudes and ladies, because even if you can't hop in the Sprinter Van and hit up every park from Acadia to Yosemite, you can hop on the couch with the fam, and travel to every national park in the US of A with the Trekking the National Parks Board Game.
Trekking the National Parks was developed by a couple who themselves traveled to all 63 of the country's national parks, and then worked together with their young son to develop a board game featuring the lot of them. Suitable for kids 8 and up, gameplay is reminiscent of the Ticket to Ride series, and accommodates 2 to 5 players, so it's perfect for family game night. Trekking the National Parks has also won the Mensa Select Board Games and Parent's Choice Gold Awards.
