Bunny Kingdom In The Sky expansion Board Game – How to Play

[Music] with your clan of rabbits to wealth gather your resources build buildings and collect the golden carats not just that you can now link your areas through the sky you want to learn how to play by nicking them with in the sky expansion in this video we're going to take you through the four rules of this expansion and if you're not familiar with the base game we do have a how to play video for that which we'll put a link in the description below coming up hi it's Terrance and Stella from upon University we bring you a variety of quality 14 videos so if you're new here please consider subscribing and do hit the bell to be notified of when we post new videos now let's get to the rules of bunny Kingdom in the sky expansion game by Richard Garfield published by LA funny Kingdom in the sky is an expansion to Richard Garfield's bunny kingdom it is played using this in the sky board which is set up next to the main board this is not a modular expansion all of the bits of additional rules that I'm about to go through in this video should be used if you're going to use the in the sky expansion this expansion can be played at any play account but if you're going to use the new fifth player you must use this expansion I'm going to assume that you're familiar with the rules of bunny Kingdom and I'll go through the changes associated with the sky board phase by phase to set up for the expansion place the expansion board next to the main board and shuffle all of the new cards which come with the expansion into the main card deck you'll still be playing from a single deck in this game a lot of buildings are placed onto this board as part of setup you'll have two level 1 cities a level 2 city and a level 3 city the 12 wondrous farm tokens that's these ones that show a shield with a pale purple background and two of the rainbow tokens one white border and one yellow border you should have six buildings left over from the expansion to luxury goods to matching rainbows and to chimneys and those are put off to the side ready for the game follow the rest of the steps of main game setup and you're ready to play in the card drafting phase of the game the number of cards drafted changes between the base game and the expansion in the two and four player games you will now draft twelve cards per round instead of ten still drafting them two at a time in the three player game you'll now draft 15 cards per round instead of twelve and you'll now draft them three at a time instead of two and in the new five player mode you'll draft ten cards two at a time the game will still be played over four total rounds the in the sky expansion introduces several new types of card and building and so we'll go through these now many cards will look like this showing a number of clouds and a number in the top left corner and this is the coordinate system for the sky board you will see that each row of the board is labeled by a number of clouds so this card here shows coordinates of three clouds five and this refers to the row of three clouds and v square a lot so this will allow the player to place a bunny here as in the base game when you place a bunny on to a space which has a set up building in it you will see an icon on the card showing you what that building is in this case it's one of the wondrous farms the wondrous farms each produce a specific and unique type of goods and each of these types of goods counts towards the wealth of any face in the sky so for example if these bunnies were here this three bunny fief would have a wealth of three with three different wondrous farms you will notice that there are some territories in the sky which still produce the basic resources the rainbow counts us both a territory card and the building card when playing the rainbow card first place a bunny in the corresponding territory which will be one of the rainbows in the sky then take the matching colored rainbow onto the card ready to use in the building phase then during the building phase the player may build the other half of the rainbow into any territory of controls on the new world board matching halves of the same rainbow I considered adjacent just like a sky tower and so the rainbow is a way to join a ground fief to a sky fief and make it into one big faith the primary difference between a rainbow and a sky tower is that the ground end of the rainbow can be moved to another eligible location during each subsequent construction phase in the game this gives you a little bit of added flexibility to optimize your feats as the game goes on the chimney is a new building which may only be built into a sky territory and you will only gain benefit from it if you build it into a territory which has a basic resource in other words one of these six territories showing fish carrot or woods from this point forth all of your face on the new world board have access to that same basic resource so in this case all new world face would have carrots as shown on this image you can think of it as being your sky dwelling bunny tipping down a whole lot of basic resources through the chimney to all of your new world thief's the final new type of building is the carotid El which is a special five strength type of city the restriction with this is that its strength cannot be combined with the strength of any other cities so this right here is a fief of strength one adding the carotid l2 this thief makes it a feat of strength five because the fire from this caroladele are treated alone and I'm not added to this one adding bunnies here still leaves the strength of the faith at a total of five and even adding another carotid l2 the same faith would leave the total strength of that fief at five the only exception is that if the strength of a fief without considering the carotid ELLs exceeds five then you can use that strength instead here there is a total of six strengths in non carrot adèle cities and so you could treat the strength of this fief as six after the building phase is over you'll proceed to the scoring phase and this works the same way in the in the sky expansion as it does in the base game when counting the wealth of a fief in the sky you will count each of the wondrous farms separately as well as any basic resources it's connected to and any luxury resources that it might be connected to via a rainbow or sky tower on the new world there is one more new way of scoring which is introduced to the game of bunny kingdom through this expansion and that is the concept of trade using these coins through the game you'll be trying to collect as many coins as you can and at the end of the game and only the end of the game you will score those coins based on how many unique goods you produce so let's first look at how you gain coins the simplest way to gain coins is by using the tax collector action card which comes with the expansion there are two of these cards and by playing it you will gain two coins the other is to create districts and a district is a fief containing two or more territories each time you create a district you will gain a coin but you get nothing for expanding your districts so let's look at some examples placing this bunny would create a one territory fief placing this bunny expands it to a two territory thief and therefore turns it into a district therefore upon placing this bunny the player gains one coin placing this bunny turns that tooth territory fief into a three territory fief it is still a district and so because it didn't become a district on this placement the player does not gain a coin placing each of these bunnies produces a one territory fief each connecting them like so turns it into one new district of three and therefore because new district was created the player gains a coin joining these together does not produce a new district it turns two districts into one and therefore the player does not gain a coin in a similar vein even though this is not a district and this is by connecting them together like so it is considered to be extending this district and therefore the player does not gain a coin there are certain special cases involving buildings connecting these two thief's by means of a sky tower or a rainbow if you're using the new expansion part does turn this into a two territory fief and is therefore a district which is worth a coin similarly it is possible to create a new district by means of a camp and doing this would be worth a coin the only blanket restriction is that while you can create a district by using a rainbow you cannot create a districting at the benefit when you move a rainbow the coins that a player collects during the game are converted into victory points in a once-off end of game scoring the player counts up the number of coins that he or she has collected and counts up the number of unique resources that he or she produces that is anything that comes from a wondrous farm in the sky and from one of the unique farms or luxury farms on earth put another way that's any resources inside a black or a purple shield but not the ones inside the white shields so from what you can see here the red player produces four of these unique resources multiply these two numbers together in this case six times four for 24 points and this is added to the players final score what this does is influences the way that you may be building up your face in other words rather than starting from a single blob and building outwards because that's not going to produce many districts you may want to start in a lot of small little districts and then gradually join them together as that's going to give you a lot more coins and potentially give you a lot more points through this final trade scoring finally when evaluating your parchment cards check page seven of the rule book as a few of the base game parchments interact a little bit differently with this sky board and so you can find all the details there and that's how to play bunny kingdom in the sky expansion we hope you enjoyed the video and we hope you enjoy painting if you enjoy this video please let us know
