Card Preparation & Set-Up
Remove the cards marked 5+ for games with two to four players.
Shuffle the cards thoroughly and place in a pile on the table pink side up. Deal three cards to the right of the pile to form column headers and three cards below it to form row headers.
Fill the nine spaces between the headers with cards from the main deck, turning each card over to its food side (with a green background).
The play area has, from the pink-side-up deck, three column headers dealt across the top, three row headers dealt down the side, and the nine grid cards filled in between the headers on their green food side.
Card Anatomy
A bunny card shows the bunny's name, its required bunny food (each food symbol is worth 1 point when the bunny is completely fed), and a bunny colour tag.
Wild cards can represent any single food item.
Cards marked 5+ are used only in 5- and 6-player games.
Bunny Drops Cards
Each Bunny Drop card collected is worth -1 point at the end of the game, unless it is swept. A collected Broom & Dustpan will sweep up to 3 Bunny Drop cards, turning them into +1 point each.
Game Play
Choose a starting player. Play then continues in a clockwise direction.
During a player's turn, they select either a column or a row to collect, and place those cards on the table in front of them, keeping the cards in the same face-up orientation. This includes the pink card in the header and the corresponding green cards.
Refill the emptied row or column with header cards:
- If a row was chosen, replenish the cards from the corresponding column headers by flipping those cards over to their green side.
- If a column was chosen, replenish the cards from the corresponding row headers by flipping them over to their green side.
- Now deal out new header cards from the main deck to fill in the missing cards (left to right, then top to bottom).
The game concludes when a number of rounds is achieved based on the total number of players. Players should have an equal number of turns. Rounds can be tracked by the number of pink cards a player has:
- 2 players: 8 rounds
- 3 players: 7 rounds
- 4 players: 6 rounds
- 5/6 players: 5 rounds
Scoring
A bunny is deemed fed if paired with food cards that match all of their desired food symbols displayed at the card's bottom.
If a bunny requires only one of a particular type of food, and a player possesses a card with multiples of that food, the card can only be used to feed that specific bunny. Multi-food cards cannot be split across bunnies.
Players earn 1 point for each food item symbol on the bunny cards that have been successfully fed.
If a bunny has not been completely fed, deduct 2 points from the player's score for each unfed bunny.
Players also deduct 1 point for each leftover food card (regardless of whether it is single or multiple).
A Broom & Dustpan card can clean up to 3 Bunny Drop cards. Swept Bunny Drops are worth +1 point. Unswept Bunny Drop cards deduct 1 point each.
Finally, if a player's bunnies (fed and unfed) all have different colour tags (i.e. no repeating colours), they get a bonus 3 points.
Points Summary
- +1 pt: For each food item symbol on fed bunny cards.
- +3 pts: If all bunnies collected have different colour tags.
- +1 pt: For each swept Bunny Drop card.
- -2 pts: For each bunny not completely fed.
- -1 pt: For each leftover food card.
- -1 pt: For each Bunny Drop not swept up.
Winning the Game
The player with the highest score at the end of the game wins. In the event of a tie, the player with the most fed bunnies wins. If still tied, the player with the fewest leftover food cards wins. If still tied, the player with the fewest unswept Bunny Drops wins.
If all the above are equal, then it's a tied game.
