GET READY!
1. Open the game board and place it in the center of the playing area.
2. Select an American Girl® mover, and place it on the Home Space. e Home Space is the circular area in the center of the
game board, which is surrounded by all of the American Girls’ homes. Players will start and finish the game on the Home Space
(NOT on their character’s specific home).
3. Your character’s keepsake tokens match the color of your American Girl® mover. Separate them from the rest of the tokens.
4. Set the movers that will not be used away from the game board. Also set aside the keepsake tokens that match those movers.

Page 2
5. Pick up the tokens that match your mover and place one in each
of the 8 shops on the game board. Set the tokens faceup (so you
can see the images of the keepsakes). When all players have
done this, there should be a token in each shop for each player.
Example: If there are 4 players who have chosen to play as Kit,
Molly, Addy and Samantha, then there should be 4 tokens in
each shop: 1 for Kit, 1 for Molly, 1 for Addy and 1 for Samantha.
HINT: Each Keepsake Token has the name of its specialty shop
on the back. You can start the game by putting the tokens in
the correct shop, or you can simply put one token per color in
each shop. Tokens may get moved around while you play
the game, so don’t worry if a dress ends up in “Dandy Dishes”!
6. Select one of the trunks. As you collect your keepsakes, you
can keep them inside!
7. Separate the Action Cards from the Travel & Trade Cards,
and then shuffle each pile.
8. Lay the pile of Action Cards facedown near the game board

Your draw area will look like this:
player 6 cards—don’t let the other players see your cards.
10. e rest of the Travel & Trade Cards will form a special draw
area: somewhere near the game board, place the pile of Travel
& Trade Cards facedown to form a draw pile. en flip over
the top 5 cards next to the draw pile and lay them out in a
row. (See diagram.)
11. Now you are ready to play. Play moves “clockwise,”
which means that after your turn the player to your left will
go. e first player to shout out her favorite American Girl®
character goes first!
LET’S PLAY
QUICK LOOK AT HOW TO PLAY
On your turn, you will do these three things:
• TRAVEL: You MUST always move your mover at the beginning of your turn. You will use Travel & Trade Cards to move.
• TRADE: After you have moved, you may trade for a keepsake IF you are in a shop and have the correct Travel & Trade Cards
to make the trade.
• DRAW: ALWAYS draw new Travel & Trade Cards at the END of your turn (“end-of-turn cards”).
Each of these 3 steps is explained in more detail below. Please READ these sections fully before beginning.
TRAVEL
• When traveling on the game board, you can move your mover in any direction, but you cannot switch directions during your turn.
NOTE: If you are leaving from the Home Space, or returning to the Home Space, you can use ANY connecting path.
• You MUST have an exact count to land on all spaces, EXCEPT shops.
• Players cannot share spaces, EXCEPT shops and the Home Space.
• Now that you know how to get around the board, you are ready to travel. Take
a look at the cards in your hand. You will see that each card has a color and a number.
• On your turn, move your mover by playing as many SAME-colored cards from your
hand as you want, and then adding together the numbers on those cards.
Example: Let’s say you have these 3 GREEN cards in your hand:
You can play all 3 cards on your turn and move 5 spaces.
But, if you don’t want to move all 5 spaces, you don’t have to play
all 3 green cards—you could play the 3 and a 1 and move only 4
spaces, or you could just play the 3 and move only 3 spaces.
• You have to move your mover the same number of spaces as the
total on the cards played (except when entering a shop).
HINT: Why does the number of spaces you move matter?
You may want to land on an Action Card space or you may
be ready to make a trade and need to get to a shop. Try to use
your Travel & Trade Cards wisely to get where you need to go!
HINT: It might be helpful if you arrange your
hand so that matching colored cards are next to
each other.

• ere are SPECIAL SPACES on the game board with special rules:
Home Space (Start & Finish) – e American Girl® characters’ homes are in the center of the game
board, circling the Home Space. You will start the game here, and you will also need to get back
here to win the game, using any connecting path. When you return “home” at the end of the game,
you will still need to land in this area by exact count.
Action Card Space – Whenever you land here, take an Action Card and do what the card says right
away. Discard the card when you are done by placing it on the bottom of the pile.
REMEMBER: If an Action Card tells you to draw Travel & Trade Cards, do that in addition to the
cards you will draw for ending your turn (“end-of-turn cards”). Also, only take an Action Card on
your turn (if your mover is swapped to an Action Card Space, don’t take one).
Shops – e 8 specialty shops are where you will trade for your character’s keepsakes.
e shops are the only spaces on the game board in which you do NOT need an exact count
to land on them–as soon as you stop on the brown “driveway” space connected to the shop,
you are in that shop! To find out how to trade for keepsakes, read the section called “TRADE.”
• When you are done moving, discard the cards you played (build one discard pile for all players to use).
• If you landed in a shop and are able to make a trade, you may do that now (see “TRADE”). You can land in a shop
when you are not able to make a trade, but, remember, you will have to move out of that shop on your next turn.
• At the end of your turn, always draw new Travel & Trade Cards from the draw area. You get to draw 2 facedown
cards OR 1 faceup card (read “DRAW TRAVEL & TRADE CARDS” for more information).
• Bonus! If you ended your turn on a space that is the same color as the
Travel & Trade Cards you played to move, then you get to draw 1
additional facedown card to add to your hand.
HINT: Plan ahead! As you travel, remember that you
will need to use your Travel & Trade Cards to trade for
a keepsake in a store. Try to think ahead to the cards
you’ll need for trading, and travel with the rest.
TRADE
• To trade for a keepsake, you must be in a shop. Since you do NOT need to have an exact count to land in a shop, you may play
cards that total a higher number and then just stop at the shop when you reach it.
• Next to each shop, there is a Cost Chart. e TOP
row of the chart shows you the cost of a keepsake in
that shop (ignore all other rows).
• To collect a keepsake, you will trade Travel & Trade
Cards from your hand in the same color combination
as the cost of the keepsake (one card for each oval).
• Gray is WILD! If the cost of your keepsake includes
one or more gray ovals, then you can match those ovals
with cards in any color or colors. For example, you can play 1 blue and 1 orange to match 2 gray ovals.
4-of-a-kind WILD: ere is one Cost Chart in which 4 gray ovals are connected together like this
– this means you can play 4 cards of any ONE color (such as 4 red cards) to match the 4 connected ovals.

• Remember that you can ONLY collect the keepsakes for your character, which will match the color of your mover.
If you land in a shop that does not have a keepsake for your character, then you can’t collect anything there.
• After you have collected a keepsake, you can keep it in your trunk! You only need to collect 4 keepsakes to win!
• When you have completed your trade, discard the cards you played in the discard pile.
• Your turn is now over, so remember to draw new Travel & Trade Cards from the draw area. You get to draw 2 facedown cards
OR 1 faceup card (read “DRAW TRAVEL & TRADE CARDS” for more information).

DRAW TRADE &TRAVEL CARDS
When you end your turn, draw…
• ALWAYS END YOUR TURN BY DRAWING
from the draw area to add to your hand. You can choose to draw
2 cards from the facedown pile OR 1 card from the faceup row.
• Why the choice? Maybe you aren’t picky about the color you get,
but want to add more cards to your hand—then you would
choose 2 cards from the facedown pile. But maybe you need a
certain color card to trade with, such as a red card, and you can
see there is one in the faceup row—then it might be worth it to
take that card.
• If you draw a faceup card from the row, refill it by turning the
card on top of the draw pile faceup in its place.
• You can’t have more than 12 cards in your hand at a time. If you go over 12, discard the extra cards right away. You can discard
whichever cards you choose.
• Don’t forget, you can draw a BONUS card from the facedown pile if you land on a space that matches the color of the cards you
played to move.
• If you run out of cards in the Travel & Trade draw pile, reshuffle the discarded cards to make a new draw pile.

2 Unknown cards
WINNING
HINT: For a longer game,
• After you have collected 4 of your keepsakes, race back to the center of the game board
where all of the characters’ homes are. You must land on the Home Space by exact count.
collect more keepsakes.
For a shorter game, collect less.
• e first player to reach the Home Space after collecting 4 of her keepsakes wins!
ADVANCED GAME
• You have probably noticed that there are actually 4 numbered rows in each Cost Chart. is is because, in the advanced game,
the cost of a keepsake depends on the number of keepsakes in a shop.
• When you land in a shop—or as you travel toward a shop—count the number of keepsakes in that shop.
Now look at the row on the Cost Chart that has the same number. at’s the cost of your keepsake:
1 keepsake in the shop? Your cost is
2 keepsakes in the shop? Your cost is
3 keepsakes in the shop? Your cost is
4 keepsakes in the shop? Your cost is
• e more keepsakes in a shop, the higher the cost will be. Whenever a player collects a keepsake in a shop, the cost
of the remaining keepsakes goes down.
NOTE: At the start of a game, the number of keepsakes in each shop is the same as the number of players. If there are only
3 players, then there will only be 3 keepsakes in the shop, so the highest cost would be row number 3.
• Remember the 4-of-a-Kind Wild? e connected gray ovals still work the same: you can play 4 cards of any ONE color to match
those ovals. But, in some of the rows in that Cost Chart, there are additional ovals. Don’t forget that you must trade one card for
each oval in the row.
