PARKS Second Edition ends after the third Season. Final scoring combines the printed value of your visited Parks with photography and other scoring systems integrated into the 2025 edition.
Rules, examples and scoring explanations
PARKS Second Edition ends after the third Season. Final scoring combines the printed value of your visited Parks with photography and other scoring systems integrated into the 2025 edition.
Visited Parks
Add the victory-point values on every Park you visited during the game. Park cards with additional scoring text should be resolved exactly as printed.
Photos
Add points from your photographs using the Second Edition photo rules and any photo-related bonuses you earned. Photography is a distinct scoring path rather than merely a tiebreak.
Wildlife and printed conditional bonuses
Score wildlife or other components that explicitly award final points. Some benefits are immediate during play, so add only the categories marked for end-game scoring rather than counting the same reward twice.
Personal challenges/objectives
If your setup includes a personal scoring challenge from the standard Second Edition configuration, resolve its printed condition at game end.
Most points wins
Add the final categories after Season 3 and use the current Second Edition tiebreak rules if necessary.
