The Daddies lace up their imaginary hiking boots and head into the wilderness for a review of PARKS, the stunning board game inspired by America’s national parks. Joined by special guest Kate, a former park ranger, Andrew, Jason, and Jacob dig into the beauty, history, and gameplay behind one of the most beloved modern board games. Along the way, they talk real national park facts, Earth Day, the Pride flag’s connection to nature, Keymaster Games’ commitment to giving back, and why this game feels so much bigger than just collecting tokens on a trail. It is a scenic journey through gorgeous artwork, clever design, and the eternal truth that cardboard nature is often preferable to actual bears.
