In Burrowdale you are a family of rabbits battling to store enough food for the coming winter. Build and change routes between the fourteen burrows, trade carrots, radishes and other goods and move your rabbit workers to where the best resources and locations are, to gain the most points to make sure your burrow comes out on top. On your turn, you can take three actions, from any combination of the following: - place one of your rabbit workers on an unoccupied burrow; - place one of the available resources on any burrow; - make a trade between two burrows that have the same resource; - change the layout of the warren network by placing a new warren card and removing an existing one; - place your family emblem token on a warren card to score an extra point in future trades. Points are scored through trades, depending on how many warren card that trade route passes through - so if the shortest possible route between two burrows means passing through four warren cards, you score 4 points. The winner is the first rabbit to 40 points. -description from designer
