To play The Great Heartland Hauling Co., first, set up the board using the cards to create a variable layout. Each player gets a thick cardboard truck and starts with five cards in hand. The goal is to haul goods for big suppliers. Drive your truck to different locations in America’s Heartland. When you reach a location, use matching cards from your hand to pick up or drop off goods. Remember, some locations have native goods that are easier to load, but others might pay more but need more fuel and time to reach. You have limited space in your trailer, so manage your resources carefully. You draw resource cards from the shared draft board for pick - up and delivery and use fuel cards to move around.

To keep the game in good condition, store the cards and cubes in a dry place. Avoid bending the cardboard trucks. Have fun playing and becoming the best trucker on the road!
