I haven't had a chance to actually print out and play this yet but I wanted to leave a comment before the jam ends :)

First of all the artwork is awesome - I love the vibrant colours and the cards are well-designed and everything is easily identifiable.

I found the rules a little complex at first but I think it's due to the way the instructions manual is laid-out. I recommend you look up some board game manual templates and use that as a starting point. In particular I think there needs to be a section describing exactly how a single turn works, something like this:

Players take turns in a clockwise order, starting with the youngest player.

At the start of their turn, the player draws a counting card and moves one of their game pieces the number of spaces indicated on the card in any direction.

  • If the player lands on an inventory icon, draw the top inventory card and keep it
  • If the player lands on a leafstack icon, draw the top animal card and follow the instructions for that animal
  • If the player passes through a hindrance icon, they must immediately stop there and follow the instructions for that hindrance
  • If the player reaches a door, they may move down a level on their next turn

(I'm not sure if those rules are 100% correct but you get the idea)

I'm also not sure how the add-on icons are distributed around the board - is it random? Or do players just choose where to place them? Or is there a "game master" who decides?

Finally, I loved that you added the "while playing say" bits - I thought this was really cute and added to the character of the game, so I decided this should count towards your audio rating :D

Thank you for your Feedback!

I will keep your advice it in mind when overworking the manual.

The icons are intended to be placed before the first time playing, I used printed Sticker to add them. so once placedthey keep there. But they can also be printed as chips and be placed on each Level before starting to play the round, this can be decided by a game master or in the group, as you want.
