How to Play Trekking the National Parks in 4 Minutes - The Rules Girl

[@rob4433]

Great job. Thanks! We just got this, can't wait to play it. The board is great quality. Looks like fun!

[@Darkatious]

Incredible explanation and beautiful animation!

[@eileenburns6157]

Just so perfect and succinct! You are brilliant 🙂

[@garys4067]

Thanks for the rules explanation. I love national parks and have been excited about this game for a while, but couldn't convince my wife we should get it. Now she agrees we should get it. Now if I can only find it somewhere..........

Lol. Helpful, concise explanation for why we’re putting this game away and never touching it again.

[@asobiwan88]

Look up a different video, this one sucks

[@LukeVader77]

Super useful explanation! Thank you!

[@elainacurrie9027]

My family and I have this game! We play mostly how you are supposed to but we kind of add a bit of our own rules! Because we think it’s fun that way! We love this game

[@jennifergrady4499]

We are having a hard time figuring out how to even play. We gave up. The video plays like an SNL commercial skit so it’s hard to follow and a little comical.

Why do you end all your sentences with “!” ?

[@banjo3774]

Do you have to display stones picked up and parks collected so all players can see them?

[@jordanofthehill]

Excellent rules explanation.

[@KevinFinn-j9p]

Can you move (first action), land on another player, send them to starrt, and then move again ( your second action)? Or only send a player back to start if you end your turn by landing on the player?

[@alexquinlan1855]

Very nice and concise review!

[@aldouspelot342]

I wanna say thanks to the Binkele family for creating this game. :)

[@davidrizzo1149]

Great job thank you

[@jaclynsilverman7043]

The only thing you should take from a national park is photographs. Other than that, it looks like a really fun and educational game!

[@SC-ye3kw]

You should also take your time.

[@SC-ye3kw]

Take in the beauty.

[@EnViOuSoUl94]

Sweet! A modern game with Hawaii involved! Don't get any ideas of taking actual stones from Hawaii State if you ever visit 🤙🏼

[@vlvtgrrl]

Thank you for explaining the official way to play! We got this game as a gift, and we are park enthusiasts! With that said, my wife doesn't like playing board games because she says she always loses. So, I'm interested in playing this game cooperatively, meaning that I would love ideas on how to tweak rules into a set of house rules that will allow us to cooperatively play. Any suggestions are welcome! I'll start... The bear could be the common foe, and the appearance of a bear could be triggered by something in the game (I haven't played it yet, but those with experience playing could have ideas...). The object of the game could be to visit as many parks as possible collectively... Maybe. Any other suggestions from those that have played before?

[@zachariecarron2903]

Is claiming a park card and putting a campsite on a major park one or two moves?

[@cathybillgettys3238]

They are each one move.

[@lanaava]

I wanted to buy this game but it might be too complicated for our youngest 6 yrs old player 😅 maybe next time but thanks ❤

[@kylegarst7078]

Can more than one person occupy a park? Can there be multiple tents on the major parks?

[@Chadness316]

Yes, on page 6 of the Rule Book it says: "All players are free to occupy any Major Park in play, even if it has already been occupied by another player."

[@kylegarst7078]

Thanks!

[@trentsullivan3759]

We can't stop laughing. This is more complex than D&D. There are so many rules and so many parts - two types of park cards with 3 elements on each, then there's the stones of varying colors. We got this...in 2043!🤔😂

[@aldouspelot342]

So true!!!! :D

[@peggyhornsby2350]

I would love to be able to remember all those details!!!

[@JM-nh8yp]

Looks complicated. Especially for kids

[@ryanchance6101]

Our 7 year old picked it up with a little help.

[@aldouspelot342]

Looks like a good game, just complicated.

[@aldouspelot342]

I just have a hard time understanding it.

[@zachariecarron2903]

What does the bear token do?

[@cathybillgettys3238]

Marks who the first player is. Really no need for it.

[@boardgameforlife7196]

"You may only occupy each Major Park once. in the rules book" What's that? I can only occupy one Major park or I can occupy 3 Major parks cause I have 3 campsites?

[@mollscooptravels]

I would say that means you can just put one campsite in each of the major parks

[@supersquirrel0612]

Thanks :)

[@Jetticus1]

What’s the bear for??

[@ryanchance6101]

The bear is a token that goes to player 1.

[@mollscooptravels]

Can you do the same action twice?

[@ryanchance6101]

You could draw twice or move twice on your turn, but you wouldn't be able to occupy or claim twice.

NO ADIRONDACKS? What is this game. Think excluding the biggest park in the US was a mistake. Also it's so wonderful living here. Plenty of board game time in this fall foliage. Game looks great. Although Snubbing the A-Dacks is a shame. Great video though.

[@austingarrigus755]

The Adirondack Park is a NY State Park, not a National Park.

[@charliebink541]

Love the enthusiasm for the parks! The park service oversees over 400 units across the nation, however only 60 are considered the major National Parks. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_parks_of_the_United_States This doesn't discount the grandeur of any not on the list! My parents went on a bucket list trip to visit all the major parks, and this is what the game was inspired by.

[@wanghiskhan7345]

We LOVED Valley of Fire state park in Nevada while bumming around Bryce and Zion. Some state parks are still amazing!

[@WoodhavenRam]

Garbage! You said you should still read the rule book but it says that the “how to play” video is (easier than the rule book)

[@BEETSEEKA]

The board style looks boring. My kid would not want to pay this. Plus rules are super complex. Please stop making these board games they suck.

[@jealways]

The rules are actually quite simple. Also, you do realize there are dozens of game designers out there. Maybe you should stick to Candyland.

[@Arjay82]
