Objective:

The objective of Summer Camp is to earn the most badges by the end of the game by progressing along three different paths on the game board.

Setup:

1. Board Setup:

   • Place the game board in the center of the table.

   • Shuffle the three different path decks (each corresponding to a different type of camp activity) and place them face down next to their respective paths.

   • Place the badge tokens near the board.

2. Player Setup:

   • Each player chooses a color and takes the corresponding player pieces.

   • Each player places one of their pieces at the start of each of the three paths on the board.

   • Each player draws five cards from the starter deck to form their starting hand.
     

Game Play:

1. Turn Sequence:

   • On a player’s turn, they can play cards from their hand to move their pieces along the paths or to perform special actions.

   • After playing cards, the player draws back up to five cards from their deck.

2. Movement:

   • Each card in the player's hand has a movement value and can be used to move a piece along the corresponding path by the number of spaces indicated on the card.

   • Players can only move one piece per turn unless they have a card that allows otherwise.

3. Special Actions:

   • Some cards have special actions that can be played instead of moving, such as drawing extra cards, moving additional spaces, or affecting other players' pieces.

4. Path Progression:

   • Each path has several checkpoints where players can earn badges.

   • The first player to reach a checkpoint earns the badge for that checkpoint.

   • If another player reaches the same checkpoint later, they do not earn the badge.

5. Deck Management:

   • When a player’s deck runs out of cards, they shuffle their discard pile to form a new deck.

   • Players can acquire new cards from the path decks by landing on certain spaces or by using special actions.
     

Winning the Game:

• The game ends when a player reaches the final space on any one of the three paths.

• Players then count their badges, and the player with the most badges wins.

• In case of a tie, the player with the most cards left in their deck wins.
  

Additional Rules:

• Trading Cards: Players can trade cards with other players, but only on their turn.

• Team Play: Players can form teams and combine their badges at the end of the game to determine the winning team.
  

Variations:

• Shorter Game: Play until a player reaches the third checkpoint on any path.

• Longer Game: Play until a player reaches the final space on all three paths.
