I bought Killer Bunnies at Gen Con for my daughters hoping they would enjoy it. Bunnies killing other bunnies is the game. What’s not to like? Just by the title alone my kids couldn’t wait to try it. After playing it a few times my kids seemed to enjoy it. Here are my thoughts on the game Killer Bunnies.
Killer Bunnies is a fast paced card game where the goal is to have the Magic Carrot at the end. To also win you have to have a bunny alive. That is where the fun is. You are trying to protect your bunnies while killing off your opponents’ bunnies. There are alot of different weapons and other cards to kill a bunny. You can also choose which bunny you can go after.
The Magic Carrot you need to win is different every game. There are Carrot cards numbered one to twelve. After all the Carrots are taken a second pile is shuffled up and drawn from. If you have the Carrot that is drawn and have a bunny alive then you win. It’s like a lottery. Just because you have alot of Carrot cards doesn’t mean that you will win. It does mean you have a better chance. One Carrot and a little luck is all you need to have a chance at winning.
I’m not as into the game as my kids are. My kids like it and don’t take the game serious. They also think the art on the cards is silly. For me though, it’s a game I wouldn’t want to play alot. It’s a fun game but wouldn’t be my first choice to play on game night. I’m also not thrilled with the luck factor at the end game. That doesn’t bother the kids. When it’s time to draw the winning Carrot everybody is crossing their fingers hoping their number gets drawn.
If you are looking for a fun and different card game that allows you to attack others, and no real strategy is needed to win then try Killer Bunnies and the Quest for the Magic Carrot.
