The sun is rising over the Dolomites. A glacier glitters in the distance. The dense alpine forest surrounds you, and the Via Ferrata beckons you to clip in.

Welcome to Parks Europe. Strap ice spikes on your boots, shoulder your trusty pack, and prepare to trek paths that have crossed this terrain for centuries. Over three seasons, you and your fellow hikers will move through flowering meadows, rocky shores, deep woodlands, wild rivers, and stunning mountains — 48 real national parks, spanning the continent.

Parks Europe - Chalet Edition • $89.99 • World Heritage Sites Mini Expansion included FREE • Delivering October

The wonders of Europe will inspire you with every park you visit, every photo you capture, and every step you take on the world's most breathtaking hikes.

Each season, your two hikers make their way down an ever-changing trail, stopping at trail sites to collect resources, take photos, encounter wildlife, and take in the wonders. Along the way you'll earn points by visiting national parks, collecting Wonder Cards, taking Photos, and earning Awards — and because the trail is rebuilt from a shuffled mix of core and advanced sites every season, no two hikes are ever the same.

If Parks is the hike you know, Parks: Europe is the same trail with a whole new pack — new ways to climb, new rewards for pushing your luck, and new decisions on every turn.

This is a BackerKit Ready-to-Ship campaign... Meaning, the files are done, the printers are running, and the first copies will be previewed at Gen Con. We'd planned a Kickstarter earlier in the year, but some change-ups in our team capacity meant simplifying our release strategy. Here's the quick map:

🏔️ Parks Europe: Chalet Edition — $89.99. This campaign is only for the deluxe version: 48 real European national parks, 40 wooden component upgrades, screen-printed wildlife, double-layer player mats, and a cloth Trail Site Bag.

🏛️ World Heritage Sites Mini Expansion — FREE for everyone who joins ($9.99 value). Add historic sites and strategic spice to every game. Find out more below.

📦 Shipping in October. No year-long wait — the games are already being printed.

🎒 7,000 copies in this first printing. This is our initial run, sized honestly for a small team's first wave. If it sells out, we'll open Wave 2 right here on the campaign — same game, same price, same rewards, different shipping timeline.

🪵 No stretch goals — on purpose. We didn't hold anything back to dangle later. The screen-printed wildlife, the double-layer boards, the free mini expansion: it's already all in.

And if you'd rather wait for the standard retail edition ($59.99), that's wonderful too — it lands in stores in November. There's a full side-by-side of both editions below. Either way, you'll get the same great hike.

It’s been such a joy to learn about the beautiful, protected lands across Europe that inspired and

helped bring Parks: Europe to life. There are well over 500! That’s a lot more than we can fit into this

here game, so it was no easy feat choosing the 48 parks to feature. We made our selections in a way

that shared as much diversity in ecosystem while covering a breadth of countries.

Here are the 48 park cards spanning the continent — each illustrated by one of eight European artists, each with a fun fact, each a part of a special suit, and each a place you'll want to visit for real.

For Europe, we invited eight illustrators to interpret the parks they know and love — from Carlotta Notaro's cover to park posters by Fago Studio, Francesco Bongiorni, Julie Guillem, James Weston Lewis, Sterre Verbokkem, Teo Georgiev, and Tom Clohosy Cole.

Adds five legendary World Heritage Sites to your hike for free. Heritage Sites give your Parks action a new dimension where you may visit one of these Historic sites instead by placing your Heritage token on one of it slots.

Earn your Heritage Token at Trail's End, then spend a future Parks action to visit a Site instead — paying its cost to claim a Reward Slot for instant actions and end-game points. Other players can still visit after you, but the best slots go to the first hikers there.

Includes 5 Heritage Site tiles and 5 screen-printed wooden Heritage Tokens. A $9.99 value, included free with every pledge.

The Best Refund Policy in the Business

If the game doesn't meet your expectations for any reason, we've got you covered. If you'd like a refund after receiving your pledge, let us know within 30 days of the delivery date of your pledge. To start a refund, send an email to [email protected]. Shipping is a significant expense and a drain on the environment so instead of sending your pledge back to us, we will ask you to donate it to a local charity or public enriching organization. If you aren't familiar with a charity in your area, you can also donate to a local board game café, library, or school.
