PNW: Card Games Inspired by the Pacific Northwest

PNW: Card Games Inspired by the Pacific Northwest is a fully illustrated book of six modern games for fans of card games, board games, and the Pacific Northwest.

Featured in the Seattle Times, and selected for the PAX Rising Showcase and Shut Up & Sit Down's Board Games Direct.

All you need is a deck of cards to hunt with a pod of orcas, forage for tasty mushrooms, brave the swift rivers of the salmon run, and more.

Created and illustrated by Pacific Northwest locals as an ode to card games and the beauty of the PNW, these six games are a great way to dive into a world of fast and fun games with a familiar set of components. Here is an overview:

Each of the games is designed to evoke something interesting, unique, or something that we love about the Pacific Northwest. The book offers a variety of experience for gamers and novices alike, but all of the games are intended to be approachable.

The delightful illustrations are by Megan Wyreweden and the game and product design is by Thomas and Kelly Cardwell. Product photos by Megan Shinner.
