How to play: First, get familiar with the trail and player cards. Each round, you'll be dealt eight trail cards. Draft two of them, arrange them in your personal area, and then pass your hand to the next player. Do this three times per round. Place the cards adjacent to or overlapping other cards. To score points, build closed loops that start and end at a matching campsite. Also, try to fulfill the 'First To' and 'End Game' goal cards. The game ends after four rounds, and the player with the most points wins. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. Maintenance: Keep the cards in a dry and cool place to prevent damage. When not in use, store them in the box properly. If you have any purchase questions or need game advice, don't hesitate to contact The Game Steward.
