Objective
In Bunny Kingdom, players take on the role of rabbit lords tasked with expanding their kingdoms in a resource-rich land. The goal of the game is to score the most points by connecting cities, utilizing valuable resources, and completing secret missions.
Setup
- Place the game board in the center of the table.
- Each player chooses a color and receives the corresponding rabbit miniatures.
- Shuffle the discovery cards and place them in a face-down deck.
- Each player draws 10 cards.
- There are scrolls (secret missions) that provide additional points.
- Set the round tracker to round 1.
Gameplay
The game is played over four rounds, each consisting of several phases:
- Discovery
- Each player draws 10 cards from the discovery deck.
-
Players simultaneously select two cards from their hand and place them face-down. They then pass the remaining cards to the next player.
-
Reveal and Play
-
Players reveal the two chosen cards and execute the actions:
- Coordinate cards allow a rabbit to be placed on the corresponding board space.
- Building cards allow construction of structures, such as carrot fields or lakes, in controlled territories.
- Scrolls can be collected for end-of-game points.
-
Building
- When a player plays a building card, they place the respective building on a territory they control.
-
Players can build new cities to increase the strength of their fiefs (connected areas of influence).
-
Scoring
-
At the end of each round, players score their existing fiefs:
- Each fief is scored based on the number of towers in its cities multiplied by the different resources (excluding gold).
-
Prepare for Next Round
- Move the round tracker forward, draw a new card set, and proceed to the next round.
Final Scoring
After the fourth round, players tally points from their scrolls as well as any bonuses built in their kingdoms. The player with the most points wins the game.
Strategic Tips
- Connecting multiple cities with resources is crucial for boosting scores. Secure areas that allow you to merge several fiefs early.
- The choice of scrolls can heavily influence your strategy, depending on bonus points available.
- Timing the placement of coordinate cards smartly can be critical for claiming valuable spots.
The multiplayer aspect and the variety of scrolls and building projects offer high replay value and strategic depth.
