Tabletop game - Sloth's Rush

It's just a dream - to sleep about fifteen hours a day, and spend the rest of the time doing nothing, only occasionally moving as necessary, isn't it? Well, the board game "Sloth Rush" will give you that opportunity! It's very simple - in this game, as you can easily guess from the title, you turn into a sloth, whose ordinary day goes exactly as described above.

Once, realizing that you wanted to move to another part of the jungle to indulge in some treats, but it was very, very lazy to do so, a brilliant idea came to your mind. Other animals are full of extra energy, so why not have them give you a ride? The main thing is to smile wider and politely ask, so consider it done!

About the game
The board game "Sloth Rush" invites you to participate in a race, the goal of which is to deliver a cargo from point "A" to point "B". In this case, you will be the cargo, and whether you get to ride with a breeze or not depends on which animals you encounter on your way. The main thing is to remember that the brilliant idea of "rides" has become known to other sloths, so the time for competition has come!

How to play?

Before the game starts, each participant receives a sloth token and a corresponding colored board. The animal tokens that the sloths will ride on are placed on the starting squares of the game board. The animal cards participating in the race are laid out in stacks face-up. Then, the sloths place their colored leaves on the trees in the jungle, and these are the ones to be collected during the game. Sit on the chosen trees, and you can start!

On their turn, each sloth immediately eats a delicious leaf and takes the number of "transport" animal cards indicated on their board under the placed leaf token. The same column indicates how many cards the player can keep in hand at the end of the turn and how many cards must be returned to the deck. After the animal cards are drawn, the journey to the next tree can begin, provided there is a necessary transporter nearby.

Game features

An important rule is that different animals have their own game abilities and, accordingly, move across different sections of the game board. For example, donkeys completely refuse to go over bridges, dolphins only swim in water, and humans (yes, human beings also serve as taxis) run from one resort to another.

This factor makes each subsequent game session unlike the previous one, which means that there will always be a reason to play "Sloth Rush" one more time! It’s also worth remembering that in each game session you place only six types of animals out of twelve on the board, which allows for even more unique variations of the game. The game leaves no room for chance, giving you the opportunity to fully demonstrate your strategic talent.

Who won?
The sloth that first collects eight juicy leaves considers its mission complete, goes to rest, and simultaneously receives the title of the game's winner. Although, it is rumored that there have been rare cases in the history of the jungle when a sloth could collect all nine leaves from the field, making it the absolute champion of the day.
