Fort

To set up Fort, place player boards with score and fort level markers, and position the victory point track in the center. Sort pizza and toy tokens into supplies. Shuffle the macaroni sculpture card and place it nearby. Set up made-up rule and perk cards by dealing a number based on player count plus one, returning the rest. Shuffle the main kid card deck, deal the park area, deal starting kid cards, and draw opening hands for each player.

The main objective in Fort is to build the ultimate fort by gathering resources like toys and pizza, recruiting kid cards to expand your deck, and advancing your fort level. Players compete to earn the most victory points through various game elements to win.

A player's turn consists of five phases: 1) Clean up your yard by discarding leftover cards. 2) Play a card from your hand, allowing rivals to follow the public action by matching suit. 3) Recruit a new card from the park or a player's yard into your discard pile. 4) Discard played cards and remaining hand into your yard. 5) Draw five new cards from your personal deck.

Scoring happens at the end of the game and includes points from the victory point track, fort levels, the macaroni sculpture card if claimed, and unique made-up rule cards obtained during the game.

The game triggers the final round when any player reaches 25 victory points, any player advances to fort level 5, or the park deck runs out of cards. After finishing the round, scores are tallied.
