Habitat tile-laying, SdJ 2022
Cascadia is a light game (weight 2/10). Despite the modest rules footprint, the decision space is deep (5/10) — the kind of game that rewards a dozen plays. Decisions come at a steady pace (5/10) — engaged without being exhausting. Interaction is light (3/10); it leans toward parallel play. Direct attacks are minimal (0/10) — the friction comes from contention, not aggression.
Every score is on a 0–10 scale. The rubric and methodology behind these numbers is documented in the README.
