Welcome to the Annual Yosemite National Park photo contest! Show off your skills and vie for the title of “Photographer of the Year” by capturing stunning images of the park's beauty.

Yosemite is a fast-paced, competitive strategy game for 2 players that revolves around the landmarks of Yosemite National Park. You'll traverse the park, photograph animals and landmarks, and engage in camping and fishing. Created by Tim Blank and illustrated by Beth Sobel, the game challenges you to impress the judges and claim the top prize.

Each turn, you move your photographer meeple one space in any direction or according to the animal on your tile. These movements reflect the specific animal's behavior—dangerous animals can even move your opponent! For example, the Red Fox can move one, two, or three spaces and change direction, while the Cougar moves straight to the edge of the board, knocking opponents aside if they’re in the way. Collect animal tiles to use for photo cards and bonuses.

Strategically maneuver to secure the best positions, capture top photos, and compete for the best campsites and landmarks. With dynamic movement and diverse scoring options, Yosemite offers a thrilling and competitive experience as you and your opponent explore the park and vie for the top spot.
