Ciao Hikers,

Thank you so much for tuning in to the campaign! We've got a fun update for you today: a peek inside the box, three booming videos, a Gen Con invite, and a quick production note. Let's hit the trail.

The Box Has a Secret

We believe the wonder shouldn't stop when you open the box — so we printed inside it. When you lift the lid of Parks Europe, you'll find a map of Europe, pinned with all 48 Parks we selected for the game. From Oulanka to Teide, every Park you'll visit has its place on the map.

Let us know in the comments which Park you are most excited about and the one (out of 500+) you think we missed!

Two New Videos from Mattox

Mattox has been busy, and the results are now up on YouTube:

Components Overview — Take a close-up tour of everything in the Chalet Edition box: the wooden bits, the screen-printed wildlife, the double-layer player mats, and more. https://youtu.be/UjQbkxXl2ZI

Is it weird to say my favorite new component is the scorepad?

Gameplay Overview — Find out what's new and how a game of Parks Europe actually flows, from your first steps on the Trail to final scoring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV1bfZQLF-w

Fair warning: Mattox's enthusiasm level is set to boom. And boom. And — you'll get the idea after watching. We counted. We lost count (actually, that's not true. I counted 38). We regret nothing.

Rodney Teaches Parks (2nd Edition)

Adjacent to the campaign but too good not to share: Rodney Smith of Watch It Played just released his How to Play for Parks (2nd Edition): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DkRRgSAoNM

If you're new to the Parks series — or want a refresher before Parks Europe hits your table — there's no better teacher than Rodney. And if you've ever wondered where the bar for clear, welcoming rules teaching comes from, well… now you know.

See Parks Europe at GenCon

Headed to Indianapolis next week? We'll have preview copies of Parks Europe at GenCon! Stop by the Keymaster booth to get your hands on the components, see the art up close, and play before it ships. Come say hi — we'd love to meet you.

Typo Fixes

Many of you have shared typos and errata you spotted in the campaign and rulebook preview — thank you! We're working with our manufacturing partner, Panda, to get every identified correction into your shipped copy.

Until Next Time

Thanks for hiking with us. More soon.

— Matt & Mattox
