About the game

Want to create the best festival camp ever? This is your chance – but watch out or you might end up camping with your mother...again! The summer is hot and it is yet again time for a mind-blowing week at Roskilde Festival. This year is going to be greater than ever. In Camp Roskilde, the players set up their camps next to one another as they start attracting cool and crazy people from the festival grounds. Having the best camp is all about getting the right vibe – "that special something" – generated by the people in the camp. Will this year have a green hippie vibe, a black metal vibe, a red crazy vibe or a blue sophisticated vibe to it? Or perhaps the right mix of all of the above? In game terms, players take turns sending festival-goers and gear from "The Festival Grounds" (four available face-up tiles) to either their own camp (player board) or the other players' camps, and carrying out any effect the tiles might have. When, at the end of a player's turn, any camp is filled with nine tiles, the game ends and the player with a perfectly diverse camp wins. If such a camp is not present, the player with the most well-themed camp wins, calculating points by taking the strongest represented color (vibe) in a camp and subtracting the second-strongest color, ignoring the rest. Camp Roskilde is a short theme-driven game with simple game mechanisms. You don't need to have visited Roskilde Festival to play the game, but it helps a lot with the fun factor if you have.
