In celebration of Donald Duck’s 90th Anniversary, Maestro Media has announced Donald Duck: Happy Camper, its first collaboration with Disney to bring fans a board game featuring one of Mickey and Friends’ most beloved characters. Designed by Wolfgang Kramer (five-time winner of the Spiel des Jahres and designer of El Grande) and Daryl Andrews (2022 Game Innovator of the Year and designer of Sagrada) Donald Duck: Happy Camper is set to immerse players in an adventurous camping journey filled with exploration, fun, and the lovable antics of Donald Duck, honoring nine decades of laughter and adventure with this iconic character.
“We are honored to join the fun of Donald Ducks’ 90th anniversary and to launch our first game in collaboration with Disney,” says Javon Frazier, Founder, and CEO of Maestro Media. “Happy Camper is crafted to encapsulate the joy of camping adventures, and we are anticipating the moment when fans get to immerse themselves in this experience.”
Game Details:
- Explore the Wilderness: Players will reveal part of the board at the start of their turn, then use actions to explore, gather resources, and set up camp.
- Strategic Gameplay: Balance is key! The more you carry in your bag, the slower you go. Will you race to the best photo spot, set up tents in different terrains, or craft gadgets to make camping life easier?
- Earn Badges and Bonuses: Complete tasks to earn badges and gain bonuses. There are bigger rewards for being the first to complete a task, so plan carefully.
- Race Against Time: The game ends as soon as Donald Duck, the troop leader, completes his trip. Race to become the best Junior Woodchuck out there!
Donald Duck: Happy Camper is the first board game Maestro Media has done with a Disney character and fans can look forward to additional board game releases next year based on other Disney franchises and characters.
