Background
The concept for the game is derived from the current situation in Hong Kong, wherein individuals have a heightened desire for outdoor and water-based activities, as well as travel. The aim of the game is to create an immersive experience that connects players to nature, even while they are confined to their homes during these challenging times. The chosen theme for the game is camping, as it provides an opportunity for individuals to rest and unwind. The decision to use camping as a central concept was based on several factors. Firstly, the tent can be likened to a chess piece and is a suitable element for board game design. Additionally, camping is a group activity that can generate excitement and engagement among players. Lastly, the abundance of camping equipment and the various factors that can impact the odds of winning make it an appropriate theme for skill cards and other game elements.

Game Description
Are you looking to partake in a satisfying and cheerful camping experience? If so, it is essential to snap out of the reverie and prepare for a competitive battlefield. Set in the suburbs, the game requires participants to construct numerous tents and expand their territory. To emerge victorious, players must collect all necessary tools and, if required, destroy tents belonging to other camps.
Gameplay Description
As part of the gameplay, it is imperative to draw skill cards in each round to facilitate tent construction. Once a player has successfully erected four tents, they become eligible to draw a function card that can either protect or demolish tents belonging to other camps. The eventual winner of the game would be the participant who has managed to construct the highest number of tents.
Game Control
The game interface features a bird's eye view map that showcases 32 strongholds, which players can utilize to construct their tents. The four corners of the map serve as starting points for each player, and they can choose a color (red, yellow, green, or blue) to represent their respective camps. To denote tent construction or destruction, players must use chess pieces that correspond to their chosen color. Skill cards and function cards must be placed in a visible location.
The game is operated in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, and players can use skill cards and function cards once per round. Each player can use a total of two to four cards in one round. When a player takes control of an opponent's tent, they must keep it appropriately.
There are two types of tents- small and big. To construct a small tent, two skill cards are required, while a big tent requires three skill cards. A specific card can demolish a big tent.
Winning Condition
The ultimate victor of the game would be the participant who has amassed the highest number of points. Each small tent constructed is considered one point, while a big tent holds a value of two points. In the event of a tie, the game is considered to be undecided.
