A board game for 2 to 4 players.

The goal of this game is to gain friends and effort points. Players take turns rolling a 4-sided dice and moving around the board. The exception is a roll of four, which gives you an extra effort point. If you land on a green “Hyla” square, you get 2 effort points plus 2 per friend. If you land on an event, move to the last space in that event. Add up the number of points on each friend card and remove that many effort points. If you don’t have enough points, discard any one friend. If you end up with extra effort points, you can make new friends. Discard one point to draw a friend. You can get a maximum of 3 friends per event.

You can also use effort points to make close friends during an event. Add any amount of effort points to an existing friend to increase the points listed on that friend. This means you discard more effort points per event, but the friend becomes worth more points in the end. Close friends may not be discarded, but if you have no choice, remove one effort point from one of your close friends instead. You can’t make close friends of friends you just got, and you can make up to 3 close friends per event. Effort points can also be saved up for later events.

It does not matter who makes it to the end first. All the other players continue playing until they reach the end. Once everyone has finished, add up all friend and close friend points. The highest scorer wins.
