• B. Goals - Here you will see where the Goals are located. Any active goal will be shown in this area and all you have to do is click on the icon to see your progress or if you need to refresh your memory as to what you need to meet the goal. At the bottom of the icons you will see two gift boxes. One is to show you the gifts you have received and one is to send free gifts to your Neighbors.
• C. Wood and Food Indicators - Here you can see how much wood and how much food you have at any given time. These are the two most important resources in the game. You can purchase energy with the food at the Market. Wood is needed to build structures.

• E. Level/XP Indicator - Here you can see what level you are on in the Star icon and the meter will tell you how many XP you have and the meter fills up with a purple color as you play. Once it completely fills up you will reach the next level and it will start over again.
