    Place a camel in a square that already has a camel.


=== Refill ===
Each of the 8 numbered spaces are populated with goods from a goods bag that is made up of 9 of each common good and 3 of each rare good. Goods need to be delivered to their respective cities. Immediately when there are only 4 goods that haven't been picked up a refill is triggered where each space that has a good gets a demand coin and each empty numbered space gets a good.


=== End Game ===
SETUP:
Once the last refill is done and there are no more cubes in the bag. The next delivery IMMEDIATLY ends the game.
 
Tiles are randomly arranged in a grid so that every game is different.
 
The player to the left of the starting player places the hedgehog on any tile but doesn't add that tile to their collection.
 
 
TURN:
 
Players then take turns:
 
~ Move the hedgehog as many spaces as you like to its LEFT, RIGHT OR FORWARD. It may never be moved backward!
 
~ Then take the tile you moved to and immediately receive its points.
 
You can skip over empty spaces to reach a tile.
 
If the hedgehog moves over a net, you may press your luck by drawing and scoring a random tile from the bag.

    Place or move the rainbow camel to an empty space.
 
For 2 actions and a gold coin:
    Place or move the rainbow camel to a space with another camel.


The rainbow camel may not be placed on the edge of the board. Any player may place the rainbow camel and any player (at no cost) can use the rainbow camel as part of their path of adjacent camels when moving a good.  The rainbow camel cannot thieve cubes and the rainbow camel may not hold a cube,  however a rainbow camel may be the endpoint for a delivery.
The game is over when the hedgehog can no longer be moved. The player with the highest score at that time wins!
