July 1st is “Moving Day” in Qubec, Canada. It’s no joke as more than 100,000 people (!) move on this special day. Why? Starting in the 1700s, by law all leases would expire on the same day. The law has since been changed, but landlords and renters still stick to July 1st as the universal moving day. And since so many people are moving on the same day, it’s of course near impossible to hire movers or even rent moving trucks so everyone in the community shows up to help you move!
InMoving Day, your job is to pack all your stuff nicely into the available vehicles, trying to avoid crushing lighter items by putting heavier items on top, while also assigning people from the community to each vehicle. Some of them are pretty clumsy and might break fragile items if you are not careful, but if they bring delicious food with them, it might be impossible to turn them away…
On your turn, choose a set of two item tiles and one person card from a general display, then assign them to your vehicles. Be aware that your vehicles have limited space and different shapes, and you must fill the items from the bottom to the top. People also have different strengths and should ideally be strong enough to collectively lift your heavier items.
After eight rounds, the game ends. Each player now has sixteen item tiles and eight people cards assigned to their vehicles, and they calculate their score:
The player with the most points wins!
