You will build trails that wander through various habitats and pass by waterfalls. You'll develop campsites and leave other areas as pristine habitats for the alpine wildlife.

Players will simultaneously draw 2 random tiles and place them into their parks. Players will earn points by creating a long out-n-back trail, large areas of contiguous habitats, surrounding waterfalls, reaching lakes, making space for wildlife, and placing campsites.

How to Play:

1. Draw 2 tiles
   Alpine Trails is played in rounds in which all players play at the same time. Everyone draws two tiles from the bag at random. Both tiles will need to be placed somewhere on each player's individual map.
2. Choose trail or terrain
   All the tiles are double-sided. One side features a segment of trail with a terrain type. The other side displays two icons of a terrain type (often different from the terrain on the reverse side). Players need to choose which side of each tile to play on their own map.
3. Add tiles to your map
   Players simultaneously add their tiles to their own map. Trails must connect to base camp, campsites or other trails. Terrain edges can be adjacent to anything.
4. Build campsites and find waterfalls
   If you have a trail that is at least 6 miles long you can spend one of your tiles to build a campsite and put an adorable tent on it which will score major points at the end of the game. Whenever you complete a loop with your trails, you'll get a waterfall to add to your map. Surround your waterfalls to score more points.
5. Discover wildlife
   Other players' actions can cause you to discover wildlife which you can add to your map–but only if you have an empty place for them.
