Capybara'n'Capybara
Capybaras love to eat pumpkins. You’ll need the help of the baby monkey walking above to pick up the pumpkins that the capybaras like to eat. You, the players, play as capybara bosses, aiming to line up your capybaras well to earn lots of pumpkins!
In Capybara, you will form a line of capybaras to score Pumpkin cards. You will move the baby monkey above the row of capybaras to carry out different actions. You gain Capybara cards by moving the baby monkey forward to the left, gaining capybaras for the number of spaces moved.
You can also score Pumpkin cards by forming a row of capybaras that meet the Pumpkin scoring conditions, moving the monkey to the left to score them.

Rules summary
Overview
Score points by managing your monkey's movements and complete (gain) pumpkin cards and bonus card to win.
Top row of cards: Capybara cards
Bottom row of cards: Pumpkin cards
Actions
You can do one of three actions on your turn:
1. Move monkey forward to gain capybara cards
a. Move monkey forward 1 space to gain 1 card; or
b. Move monkey forward 3 spaces to gain 2 cards; or
c. Move monkey forward 5 spaces to gain 3 cards.
Cards picked up can be inserted anywhere BEHIND where you monkey is.
It is important to keep in mind that the 2 cards you do not need to be next to each other. They do, however, need to be inserted in the same spot in your line of capybaras in any order you preferred.
2. Move monkey forward to gain pumpkin cards
You can claim a private or on display pumpkin cards when you have all the required capybaras. You can also substitute a requirement by moving the monkey forward 3 more steps.
Note that the one private pumpkin card you picked at the beginning will not be replaced once it is completed. "Gaining" a pumpkin card means completing one.
It is important to keep in mind that in order to gain (complete) a pumpkin card, your monkey will need to move OVER all of the cards required. Meaning, you must start your monkey RIGHT of the first card that you will need in order to achieve this.
Cards required to complete a pumpkin card do not need to be in any specific orders. You just need to have the required quantity.
Your Monkey
Monkey's Movement
Monkey's movement is the key to this game. Moving the monkey forward allows you to gain capybara cards or pumpkin cards. You will need to move your monkey back once it reaches the end of the line in order to perform more actions.
The monkey's maximum movement is 3 at the start of the game.
Growing your Monkey
When you complete your private pumpkin card OR 3 pumpkin cards on display, your monkey will grow and its maximum movement will increase to 4. This is the monkey's maximum movement for the game.
Game End
Game end when one of these 2 conditions are met:
1. One player completed 5 goals
2. Capybara deck is empty AND there are only 4 cards left on display
Scoring
Sum all the scores on the pumpkin cards that you have collected; and
Sum the points you've earned from the bonus card.
