Donald Duck: Happy Camper

The Ducks are setting out to camp! In Disney's Donald Duck in Happy Camper, players will race to explore the wilderness, set up camp, take scenic photos, and earn badges. Starting with an empty board, players will reveal tiles and gather resources on their turn. But watch out; the more you have in your bag, the slower you go. Will you race to the best photo spot or set up tents in different terrains? There are bigger bonuses for being the first to complete a task, so plan carefully as you race to become the best happy camper! Designed by Wolfgang Kramer (five-time winner of the Spiel des Jahres and designer of El Grande) and Daryl Andrews (2022 Game Innovator of the Year and designer of Sagrada) Donald Duck: Happy Camper is set to immerse players in an adventurous camping journey filled with exploration, fun, and the lovable antics of Donald Duck, honoring nine decades of laughter and adventure with this iconic character.

  • Explore the Wilderness: Players will reveal part of the board at the start of their turn, then use actions to explore, gather resources, and set up camp.
  • Strategic Gameplay: Balance is key! The more you carry in your bag, the slower you go. Will you race to the best photo spot, set up tents in different terrains, or craft gadgets to make camping life easier?
  • Earn Badges and Bonuses: Complete tasks to earn badges and gain bonuses. There are bigger rewards for being the first to complete a task, so plan carefully.
  • Race Against Time: The game ends as soon as Donald Duck, the troop leader, completes his trip. Race to become the best Junior Woodchuck out there!
