"New cards include: "Orbital Missile Platform" for eliminating bunnies from orbit, "Kentucky Avenue" which allows players to steal a new Red bunny from an opponent, "Shuffleboard" for a quick Carrot grab and "Guardian Angel" to protect against Terrible Misfortunes. New mechanisms include a new Killer Bunnies market to buy back weapons for more fun and destruction, the election of bunny Senators to vote on game outcomes, and four new Carrots!

If peace and salvation is what you crave, you'll love the card "Everybody's Dead, Dave". Want some vengeance against a foe? Drain his resources with "Scotty Doesn't Know". Hilarious good times are surely ahead, with the exciting new booster deck cards of Red!"

I'm a little disappointed about the second Rooney's but I guess it's necessary for people who don't have Quest. Bunny Senators are in (first mentioned in the Blue/Yellow deck.)

Everybody's Dead Dave is a Red Dwarf reference. It's all very exciting!

Do you think this will be another wait-until-Gencon-in-August-before-we-see-it game?

In other years, we've gotten the "Second quarter" run-around and I think we'll just have to wait six months.

[zerodemon]

I imagine we'll see all three planned games/expansions (PPV, Conq-Red J2J) at Gen-Con. The second quarter thing is rarely/never accurate.

Jeffrey told me April, but he said it's obviously ultimately up to Playroom.

They've also added to BGG a Violet page including description: www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgameexpansion/121091/killer-bunnies-and-the-conquest-of-the-magic-carro

Game description from the publisher:

Killer Bunnies return to pillage and burn with the addition of Specialty Bunny cards such as the Priscillan trio that allows players to play extra cards during their turn! Killer Bunnies and the Conquest of the Magic Carrot: Violet Booster Deck adds 55 new cards to the existing Killer Bunnies and the Conquest of the Magic Carrot set, as well as a clear 20-sided die.

New cards include: "Reno 911" which causes a police raid on your opponent's cards, "Campaign Contributions" for "influencing" (wink, wink) the votes of Senators, "Betty Botter" for increasing your Radish and Milk supplies and the "Grand Slam" which, combined with lucky die rolls, awards a player with three Carrots! The new Defense Cards can eliminate threatening weapons such as "Blipverts" or the ever-vengeful "Heathers"!

Also they say September for Violet and April for Red, hope it's all accurate. I love Conquest, but really want some expansions to add on to it soon.

Reports the street date as May 4th! Now to anxiously wait for J2J.

And here is the preview on killerbunnies.com

Some interesting notes.
- There is a Rooney's 2 but no defence cards.
- There are no additional metals cards.
- The new holo-bunny is the holo-doctor from Star Trek: Voyager.
- There is a new kind of TM card with the word (casting) appended.

Interesting indeed:

- We know defense cards still exist (Violet Expansions Description), but the lack of them here is curious.
- No additional metals makes me fairly disappointed, metals make money more common and the game move along in a way Quest didn't because you were waiting to draw money cards. I hope lots more metals get added in future expansions.

Looks really good though, excited for it

I agree with alacer23, too bad the red deck has no metals in it. I also love the defense cards so having none in the red deck is disappointing to me as well.

Anybody else notice that Playroom has two web sites? The one linked above appears to be a new site, while the one linked from the Killerbunnies.com site is the old site?
