Gather resources, dodge bears, ride out disasters, and rack up Stars on your way to Starfish Town. First player to arrive with at least 12 Stars wins — show up short and you'll have to turn back for more.
Your turn
Gather, trade at a Trading Post, and play as many ability cards as you like — then roll the Black Hike Die up to 3 times.
The Hike Die
Every roll counts, even by accident. It moves you, costs you a food resource, or advances the Sun — no take-backs.
Bears
Mean bears roam the board and multiply over time. Gather 3 Fish to befriend one, or shoot it for 5 Stars.
Day & night
The Sun cycles through the day, triggering bear surges and Weather Service alerts along the way.
Weather
Environment cards flip regularly, bringing storms, floods, earthquakes, and the occasional quiet day.
Taking damage
Get hurt and you're sent back to the nearest Trading Post — hearts on your mat keep the tally.
