Cascadito is the smaller sibling to Reiner Knizia’s big box tile placement strategy game, Cascadero.

Cascadito retains the challenging, combotastic core of Cascadero — the interplay between the map and book of successes — while providing a refreshingly unique and complimentary experience:

1. Place an Envoy onto any empty field space

1. Trigger town scoring if part of a group OR with a seal

1. Earn bigger town scoring if the town has already been visited by Envoys or contains a royal Herald

1. Town scoring advances you up the matching track, activating competitive bonuses and addicting combos

1. Strive for connections, block your opponents, and compete for achievements

1. The game ends when a player runs out of envoys or reaches 50 points

1. Only players who reached the end of their success track qualify for victory, and the most points wins

*Note — final production will include cubes rather than discs. In testing, we’ve found that adjacent sliding cubes provide a smoother play experience compared to stacks of discs.
