Community Journey

Community Journey

Community Journey is a board game that uses playing cards. By collecting different social resources and participating in community events, players compete to build the most prosperous community. There are four main resources in the game that represent different aspects of the community: Health, Education, Environment, and Socialization. The number of players will be 2-4. All players start the game with the same initial community resources.

Social Resource Card:

Health Center - Ace of Hearts to 10: Increases Health resources.

Library - Ace of Diamonds to 10: Increases Education resources.

Environmental Agency - Ace of Clubs to 10: Increases Environmental Resources.

Social Club - Ace of Spades to 10: Increases Social Resources.

Community Activity Cards:

Fitness Challenge - Jack, Queen of Hearts: Increases Health resources for all players.

Knowledge Sharing Event - Jack, Queen of Diamonds: Increases the Education resource for all players.

Community Cleanup Day - Jack, Queen of Clubs: Reduces another player's Environmental Resources.

Charity Sale - Jack, Queen of Spades: Increases Social Resources for all players.

Trading Cards:

Resource Exchange - K of any suit: Exchange a certain amount of resources with another player.

Special Event Cards:

Government Support - Joker: Gain additional resources.

Natural Disaster - Joker: All players lose a certain amount of resources.

Rule set:

Shuffle the playing cards and deal each player 6 cards as their initial resource.

1) Draw Phase: Each player draws one card from the pile.

2) Action Phase: Players may choose to perform one of the following actions:

a. Building Resources: Play a card to add a community resource (e.g., a "Health Center" card adds a health resource).

b. Community Activity: Play a card to participate in a community activity to gain additional resources or to interfere with other players (e.g., a "Community Cleanup Day" card reduces another player's environmental resources).

c. Trading: Exchanging resources with other players. 

3) An ace through ten of each suit is credited as 1 point for that resource. Jack, Queen and King can only cause 1 point to be added or subtracted.

The first player with a resource that reaches ten points wins the game.
