RULES:
The object of the game is to be the last player remaining. Layout the board and each player picks a rabbit. Position the rabbits and carrots on the board based on the number of players as seen here. Pick a player to go first, then play proceeds clockwise.
On your turn, roll the non-standard die, which has two sides with three pips and two with four, then move your rabbit accordingly. Your rabbit may only move in the direction it is facing. It takes 1 movement to move forward 1 square, and 1 movement to rotate your rabbit 90 degrees in either direction. If your rabbit reaches the end of the board, it may proceed to the opposite side, as if the two were connected. Whenever you land by exact count on a space occupied by another player, but only when entering that space from directly behind that rabbit, you eliminate that player and remove their rabbit from the board. Otherwise, you may not share spaces. You can only enter another player’s space from behind their rabbit, and only with the exact number rolled on the die. Landing on another rabbit in this way eliminates the opposing rabbit.
When you end your turn on a carrot space, pick up that carrot token. You may not use a carrot the turn you picked it up. A carrot token can be discarded to the box to add 1 additional movement to your roll. You can use more than one carrot at a time. If you eliminate a player who is holding one or more carrots, you gain all their carrots.
The center space of the board is the “rabbit hole” and is a safe space: you may not be eliminated while in the rabbit hole. You may not enter the rabbit hole if it is already occupied. You may not leave the rabbit hole the turn you entered; if you have moves remaining, you must rotate your rabbit. You must exit the rabbit hole the turn after entering it, and you may not re-enter the rabbit hole the same turn you leave.
The last player remaining, wins!
