Landing spaces :-

When a player lands on any station, there can be two outcomes:-

• If the player has the required token: of that space in his/her backpack, then the player will earn a “heart point”.The player gives the required object token and keeps it back on the main board .
• If the player doesn’t have the required token:the player will get plastic trash the player will have to take the particular token required from the home space – flip it (which will represent the plastic alternative of that object) and put it in his/her player board (trash space)

If a player lands on any 2 special spaces on board:-

• Cleaning streets: This space represents that the player is helping to keep the nearby streets clean by picking up trash and putting in a dustbin to reward such a helpful act towards the environment whenever a player lands on this space he/she will directly earn a earth heart point
• Upcycle: This space represents that the player is using his/her plastic trash and converting it to an useful object by upcycling it.Therefore the player can empty the trash collected in his/her player boards’ trash bin if any

Then every other player will play their turn clockwise.

Refill Object tokens :-

• Whenever during the game any player wants to refill his/her backpack, then he/she should skip their turn and refill/replace the object tokens in their backpack.
• On the go, whenever a player passes the start point then he/she can refill/exchange any 3 object tokens from the home space after playing and completing their turn. 

Note: You cannot use the collected tokens in the same turn

*Throughout the game every player can only have maximum of three object tokens in their respective backpack

Trash :-

• During the game whenever a player collects 2 trash tokens in their player board trash bin, the player will lose 1 earth heart point token. The player will have to discard a earth heart point  and empty the trash.  if the player doesn’t have any earth heart point at this point then, whenever he/she earns one in future, the player will have to lose that earth heart point token and empty the complete trash collected till then.
