Love them both! Thanks for the detailed look!
Artwork on ‘world’ cards looks gorgeous
I think it would have been cool if the Trekking the World board also had country names on it. My kids are terrible at geography and a game like this could really help in a sneaky way. I realize it would make the board busier though...
Thanks for the side by side review Zee! I had always wondered what the differences were between these two. I have the National Parks version, which I'm a big fan of. It seems a little simpler or at least less things to do and possibly less time to play, which I appreciate. I can usually play it back to back, and its a really fun game. I probably won't be purchasing both, but would love to try the other one day.
The cool thing about trekking the national Parks is that the designer's parents raised him in the parks and to lobe going to them. I think the photos used as the "art" for the parks cards are even from his own family. A real passion project. That being said, I think trekking the world improved the gameplay a little bit, and the art is great. I prefer it to the photos in the first game
I didn't realize that Trekking the World was a follow up to a prior game. I've only played World, but I think it's quite good as a light game.
I think the Parks one sounds more interesting for me, but I'd give either a try. Thanks, Zee!
I have the World KS. It is a very pretty game, something I'm sure I can easily get newer gamers to play. It is not meaty enough to be a feature game on most game nights, but as a light after dinner, breezy relaxing family game it will hit just right. Most won't care to win, content in just admiring the lovely art and facts of the various locations. Maybe even spark talk of potential trips once the world is safer.
They are 4 national park in Puerto Rico and Virgen Islands. American Samoa is not a national park is a common wealth. The designer consider some national parks not all of them.
Trekking the World is good fun, well produced and plays pretty swiftly. Feels like a “classic” with a little bit extra.
I wonder how Trekking Through Time will compare.
The designer is working a historical version in the series.
And it is on Kickstarter now!
What! New Zealand is on the map? I thought that place only existed in lords of the ring world.
The New Zealand you see in the Lord of the Rings film is all CGI. None of the landscapes are real. The orcs, however, are very real. They are a real menace there.
10:46 Even in a 2 player game?
National Parks needs a second edition with an art/graphic design update.
Lmao… National IS a 2nd Edition!
Thanks Zee, wonder why they put multiple parks in some states and none in the other's though.
Because that's where the national parks are located. They are all real locations
@@jennymartin2278 I believe Idaho has 6 parks they operate. Craters of the Moon is one of them
@@jasonraber3770 I believe the game is only considering places meeting a specific definition for National Parks. In the case of Idaho, which has 7 different national historic trails, monuments etc, only one (Yellowstone) counts towards this game’s definition of a National Park. Craters of the Moon is considered a National Monument & Preserve and therefore doesn’t count.

@@HEMAYATC Yellowstone is in Wyoming.
@@HEMAYATC In Trekking the World, Canada isn’t given much love either.
The production value of both PARKS and Trekking the World make Trekking the National Parks obsolete, imo.
