Aim of the Game
Will you be able to harvest 4 carrots before the rabbit has stolen 4 carrots from your garden?
Preparation
Play in the bottom part of the game box. The game board shows two patches with holes for the carrots and squares for the rabbit. Place the rabbit on the patch with its symbol.
The carrots are the stockpile and you will have to plant them. Get the carrots and the die ready.
How to Play
Play in a clockwise direction.
Rabbits move their little nose in a funny way, whoever can imitate this best may start. If you cannot agree who is best at it, the youngest player starts.
What symbol appears on the die?
-
The carrot = you can plant a carrot. Take a carrot from the stockpile and insert it into any hole of the light-green patch. No carrot is left in the provisions? Then you can harvest. Take a carrot from the dark-green patch and keep it as harvested piece in the center of the table.
-
The watering can = water your carrots well and they will grow marvelously. Take any carrot from the light-green patch and insert it into any hole of the dark-green patch. If you can't do so because there are no carrots left on the light-green patch, you can roll the die a second time.
-
Gardener Mole = you can decide for yourself what you want to do.
- If there are still carrots in stock you can plant a carrot or water a carrot.
- If you have already planted all the carrots you can water or harvest a carrot.
-
A rabbit = Oh dear! Will he steal the carrots? Move the rabbit one square. If he lands on a square with one or even two carrots sticking there, he pinches them. Pull them from the patch and keep them in the lid of the game box, which is the rabbit's stash.
-
Two rabbits = now the rabbit zips off. Move the rabbit two squares in a clockwise direction. If there are already carrots on the first square he can take them. If there are carrots on the second square, he will also take those. Pull them from the patch and keep them in the lid of the game box.
End of the Game
The game ends as soon as one of the following instances occurs:
- The rabbit has caught the fourth carrot. Unfortunately in this case you have all lost. Just try again. Maybe you will win the next round.
- Four carrots are in the center of the table. You have shown to be successful gardeners and win the game together.
How about preparing a carrot salad together to celebrate your victory.
Solo Variation
Of course you can play on your own against the cheeky rabbit. Will you manage to harvest four carrots?
