Description
Peace has come at last to the great Bunny Kingdom! Lead your clan of rabbits to glory by gathering resources and building new cities across the land!
Draft cards and pick the right ones to position your warrens on the 100 squares of the board, provide resources to your colonies, build new cities to increase your influence, and plan your strategy to score big at the end of the game. Settle in lakesides or fields to collect water and grow carrots, gather mushrooms in the green forest, and climb the highest mountains to discover rare and precious resources... Secretly rally rabbit lords and recruit skillful masters to make your cities and resources even more valuable at the end of the game.
After each turn, your groups of contiguous warrens grant you points depending on the cities and different resources they include. The game ends after 4 rounds, and the player with the most points wins the game.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

- end-game and parchment objectives — Scoring is based on round-end tallies and a final set of parchment objectives that shape end-game strategy.
- grid placement / area control — Playing a card places a bunny on a specific grid coordinate; players build interconnected territories with towers and cities that drive scoring.
- Resource management — Resources such as carrots, wood, and fish influence expansion and territorial development.
- special cards and domain linking — Special cards add resources, allow domain linking, or modify scoring through unique effects.

Overall sentiment (raw)
positive
Pros
- Learning curve is gentle; drafting is easy and fast, making setup and play quick.
- Clear spatial mechanics with direct player impact on the map and planning implications.
- Strong card quality; many cards feel useful and synergistic, increasing replayability.
- Sky towers enable dramatic, expansive fiefs and interesting long-term strategy.
- Long-term scoring and fief growth provide tangible, accumulating payoff across rounds.
Cons
- Hate drafting can create moments of frustration, though framed as polite in play.
- End-game scoring and fief calculations can be tricky for new players, requiring careful tracking.
- Limited spaces mean players must plan ahead and can be blocked, potentially leading to less fluid early turns.
Thematic elements
- territory control, resource management, and city-building in a cooperative but competitive animal kingdom.
- A whimsical fantasy world where rabbits build kingdoms on a shared grid map.
- light, whimsical world-building with emphasis on strategic planning and spatial layout
Comparison games
none
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- building tokens — Playing building cards yields tokens that are placed on cards to upgrade their level (level 1, level 2, etc.).
- camps and occupancy — Camps allow a player to squat on an empty space; if displaced, the occupying bunny must move home.
- card drafting — Players draft two cards each round from their hand and then pass the remainder to the next player; reveals are simultaneous, creating tense but fair drafting dynamics.
- fief scoring — At the end of each round, fiefs are scored by multiplying the number of towers by the number of different resources present in the fief.
- grid placement / area control — Each coordinate card corresponds to a space on a grid board; placing a bunny occupies that space permanently and affects adjacency.
- parchment end-game objectives — Face-down parchment cards provide hidden points and secret objectives that can significantly shift final scores.
- Resource management — Board spaces have printed resources (fish, wood, carrots) and there are luxury resources (gems, gold, steel) that can be added via cards.
- tower scoring and sky towers — Cities produce towers that multiply with the number of different resources to score fiefs; sky towers connect distant spaces, enabling large connected regions.
