Cascadia is a puzzly tile-laying game featuring the habitats and wildlife of the Pacific Northwest! In Cascadia, players take turns building their terrain and populating it with wildlife. Players must create a diverse and harmonious ecosystem - each animal species has a different spatial preference and each habitat must be placed to reduce fragmentation and create wildlife corridors.
Cascadia is a tile and token drafting game for 1-4 players. It involves a dual-layer puzzle that progresses over time as more habitats and wildlife are added to each player's individual ecosystem. Players score points by creating the most harmonious spatial arrangements of wildlife, and also by creating the largest contiguous habitat corridors.

I bought Cascadia because I love tile placement games and I had really, really enjoyed their previous game Calico (a patchwork tile placement game with cats), and I had seen plenty of good reviews on the game (sometimes that is a benefit of NZ taking a little longer to get items). In this game you have five different animals, each of which comes with three scoring cards (one is used for each animal, per game). Each tile has an image of what animals can live on it, so you are restricted by which token you can then place on it but you aren't restricted on where you can place your tile - although the more of the same habitat touching, the more bonus points you may gain at the end.
When selecting your tile, there are four laid out and each one is paired with an animal token, you take both and then choose where to place each one (together or separately). You can earn pinecones, which allow you to choose two separate ones, handy when you want the token but not the tile and vice versa. The scoring cards for each animal are really well varied, and are pretty good at showing exactly what you need, though further clarifications are available in the rule book. I was surprised how much the kids enjoyed this, they all agreed that the scoring cards showing you exactly how to score made it a lot easier than some games which only provide text pointers. Can't wait to see what the publisher brings out next.
