PARKS Memories: Plains Walker

About this board game

PARKS Memories: Plains Walker is a strategic matching game for 2–8 players, with games lasting about 30 minutes. Face-down park tiles form a grid across the table, inviting players to test their memory while building collections of matching parks.

Each turn follows four simple steps: reveal two tiles, choose one to place in front of you, add a new tile to the board, and lock one tile with the hiker token. Play continues around the table until one player or team has collected three sets of matching park tiles.

Finding matches can do more than grow your collection. When you reveal tiles with matching PARKS resource icons, you can activate player abilities, adding strategic choices to the straightforward memory-game foundation.

• Play head to head or in teams.
• Adjust the grid size for a bigger challenge.
• Use the simpler memory-game format without player abilities for younger players.

As one of three editions of PARKS Memories, this version highlights the national parks of the plains region of the United States and features its own unique set of player abilities. Together, the three editions showcase every US national park.

With flexible rules and multiple ways to play, PARKS Memories: Plains Walker can offer a focused contest between opponents, a cooperative team challenge, or a more accessible memory experience. The 2021 release combines recognizable PARKS themes with tile selection, matching, and tactical ability use.
