Game is incomplete. We will keep updating it regularly!

HOW TO PLAY:

• Take turns placing Little Guys one by one. You will need to drag the little guys to the slot. There's no visual feedback while you're doing that but it works.
• After all Little Guys have been placed, each player will resolve all their Little Guys (by click or dragging them), then proceed with the next player.
• Available action slots are:
  • Forage (Green slot X/Y) — roll X dice, then select up to Y to gain those resources. 
    • Each Forage die has 3 Goo (green) sides, 2 Acid (yellow) sides and 1 Pearl (blue) side.
  • Craft (Blue slot) — drag a card from your hand -bottom left- to the Little Guy to craft it (if you have enough resources!). If you cannot craft any card, click on the Little Guy to retrieve it without crafting anything.
  • Draw cards (Yellow slot) — draw X cards
  • Recruit (Red slot) — pay 1 Goo resource to recruit a little guy
    
  • Trade (Pink slot) — exchange resources with another player as you see fit, or exchange with the Supply at the following rates:
    • 3 Goo - Any 1 resource
    • 2 Acid - Any 1 resource
    • 1 Pearl - Any 1 resource
    • (Trade slots are only available with 2+ players)

• Combat Lanes (4 Lanes where the Germs spawned) — place Little Guys on one of the four Lanes, then during Resolution Phase drag a Little Guy to a Germ on that lane to fight it! Little Guys can keep fighting if they kill a Germ, and they will be automatically retrieved if they don't. 
  • Each Combat die has 3 Hit sides, 1 Double-Hit side, and 2 Miss sides.
• Equip items — from the crafted items inventory -bottom right cards- to a Little Guy to equip that item. Currently the different items can:
  • Add more Forage dice to Forage actions
  • Add more Combat dice to Combat actions
  • Add more Card Draw to Daw Card actions
• Traps — consumable 1-time effect cards, marked with a star on the top-right of the card. Crafting Traps does not consume the Craft Action, so you can still craft other items afterwards! Once they are crafted, drag them to a Germ to use the effect! The currently existing Traps can:
  • Drop on a Germ to deal X damage to a germ
  • Drop on a Germ or Lane to destroy all Germs on that Lane!
