2nd Edition of Trekking the National Parks Board Game

The Good News: The first edition of our award winning game Trekking the National Parks officially sold out in early November.

The Better News: We have received in our shipment of 3000 copies of the new 2nd edition of Trekking. (As of May 1st, 2017...there are 1624 copies left of the 2nd edition.)

The Best News: The new edition of the game comes with a better price, a few minor tweaks to the rules of the game AND and all new 64-page Park Guide Book! (Click to view the Guide Book)

The new Park Guide Book is filled with information about each of our country's 59 major Parks. The purpose of the Guide Book is to help readers broaden their understanding of each of these treasures and enrich the player or visitor experience -whether trekking to a park on the game board or in the family car.

Much of the information contained in the Guide Book comes from our personal experiences while we've trekked about them. We've included information about the key features of each park, unique elements  and what qualified each to achieve "National Park" status.

Other segments of the Guide Book include the following:

Getting There: Not all parks are accessible by automobile! This section will help you understand where the park is located and how to get there.

When to go: for most parks, the summer months are typically "high season" attracting the largest crowds. This section will help you determine the best time of year for you to visit.

What to do: This part of the Guide Book offers you a listing of the many activities available when you visit. Much of this section includes Day Hikes we took when we visited.

Where to stay: Here you will find information regarding camping and lodging options once you arrive.

Wildlife: This section highlights the animals you may encounter while visiting the park.

Trivia: We have been asked numerous times if the game contains a trivia element. We play-tested a park trivia component for 6 months and found out that very few people could answer even the simplest of questions. So instead of incorporating Trivia into the game, we included a section to it!

Experience These: At the bottom of each page, you'll find a checklist of things that we highly recommend you consider doing when visiting a park. Check them off as you complete each activity and add your own experiences as well!

The Park Guide Book comes inside every game of Trekking. We do have a limited number of Guide Books for sale in the event you already have the game. To order a copy, visit our website at:  www.binkink.com/shop.


Happy Trails!
