Thanks for the super explanation!
I just got this game yesterday as a belated birthday present from my brother. When I plopped this down on the table at home my SO (who is from Florida) asked what it was. When I told him it was a game on US parks he looked excited and immediately reached for the park deck. He grew up near Ocala and hoped it'd be featured. As it turns out, it's a national forest - not a national park.
He was a bit disappointed, but is still interested in this game. Which is super nice, as he's generally a non-gamer :). He only likes a handful of my games, so it's always nice when something like this can spark a genuine interest.

Happy (belated) Birthday! That's awesome that your SO is interested in the game - I know how exciting that is! 😃 I hope you both enjoy it!
