The Cabin Game

Objective of the Game

The Cabin Game is an entertaining board game where players aim to be the first to complete their cabin. Each player starts with the base part of their cabin, which they must complete with other parts.

Game Components

• A game board with spaces featuring blueprints, tools, and special events.
• Game cards that represent building materials, tools, and events.
• A part tableau for each cabin.
• Blueprint parts for each cabin section: roof, walls, windows, doors, etc.
• Pawns for each player.

Number of Players

• 2 to 6 players can play the Cabin Game.

Setup

1. Each player chooses a pawn and places it on the starting square.
2. Each player receives a cabin parts tableau.
3. The cards are shuffled and evenly distributed or placed as a deck in the center.
4. Players draw a certain number of starting cards, depending on the number of players.

Gameplay

• The game proceeds in rounds, with each round consisting of all players taking turns.

Player's Turn

1. Roll the Dice: The player rolls the dice and moves their pawn according to the number of spaces rolled.
2. Perform an Action:
3. If landing on a building material spot, the player draws the respective card.
4. If landing on a tool spot, the player draws a tool card.
5. On event spaces, draw an event card and perform its instructions immediately.
6. Building: If a player has the matching material and tool cards, they can combine them to complete a part of their cabin. The matching cards are discarded, and the new cabin part is placed on the tableau.
7. The next player clockwise takes their turn.

Special Rules

• Trading: Players may trade building materials or tools with other players during their turn to increase their chances of finishing a cabin section faster.
• Events: Event cards can have positive effects (like additional building materials) or negative effects (like storms damaging a cabin part).
• Strategy: It's crucial to monitor other players' strategies and form alliances or block others if necessary.

Winner

The player who completes their cabin first is the winner of the game.

Tips

• Planning is Key: Make targeted efforts to collect materials and tools and use trades strategically.
• Risk vs Reward: Consider whether it's worthwhile to accumulate cards to build a complete cabin part in one action, or if you should build incrementally.
