The ducks are setting out to camp! In Donald Duck in Happy Camper, players race to explore the wilderness, set up camp, take scenic photos, and earn badges. Starting with an empty board, players reveal tiles and gather resources on their turn, but the more you have in your bag, the slower you go. Will you race to the best photo spot or set up tents in different terrains? There are bigger bonuses for being the first to complete a task, so plan carefully as you race to become the best happy camper!

And don’t assume your fellow streamers will always play nice! Gain secret Influence Tokens that let you take special actions, such as sabotaging a trend, stealing a card, or hitting another player’s video with a DMCA Takedown!

Players are gopher ranchers in the town of Gopher Gulch, each placing tiles to build their own warren of burrows, hoping to attract all three types of gophers. It’s a delicate balancing act where every tile counts. Build your warren, forming burrows of three different colors. Complete a burrow of a particular color that is longer than the current shortest burrow in that color, and the gopher living there moves into the new one; it stays there until it gets lured away again by an even bigger burrow! There is one less gopher of each color than there are players, so not everyone will be able to host all three gopher types at once.
