Good to know

  • Bitten carrot on the spinner: take one carrot out of your basket and set it aside. No carrots yet? Nothing happens.
  • Red X on the spinner: you lose your turn and play passes to the next player.
  • Catching the rabbit in the air is best, but catching it as it lands counts too.
  • Nobody caught the rabbit? The player with the most carrots in their basket wins.
