  • Use this to force a slow player to end the season.
  • Photos Photo token are a great way to turn extra resources into points. Remember they aren't counted in the score tracker until the end. *Someone may seem way behind, but have a ton of photos and easily can win at the end.
  • Gear Gear card that lets you take more Photo token results in even more points.
  • Use the campfire Campfire token to your advantage to visit key/needed spots. You can only refresh your Campfire token using gear or with the start of a new season. Therefore the Campfire token is more valuable and rare than the first version game (in which it reset when one of your campers finished the trail).
  • Drawing from the top of the Parks card deck gives you something to aim for if you don't have the right payment when your first Hiker token is forced home. It may be better than reserving from the revealed cards if everyone is short of paying for those/if they don't help with bonuses. Or you may want to reserve a park that benefits your passion bonus. But remember that reserved parks give you nothing if you don't pay to visit them later.
  • Buying gear and obtaining canteens is sacrificing for the future. They tend not to be fruitful in the last season, but by using them for 2 or 3 seasons they often will give large returns. But you have to focus on continual usage. Sometimes it may be strategic to block a leading player from visiting a site if it connects to gear, fills multiple canteens, or connects with their season/focus.
