KinderBunnies...
The word 'Kinder' in dutch means, roughly translated, 'for kids'.
Completely in dutch 'Kinder Konijnen'
Completely in English 'Bunnies for Kids'
Could this be a coincidence...? A sign...? A weird turn of zodiac...? or a ripple in the Matrix, perhaps...?
Or is Kinder a synonym for a word meaning the same thing...
PS: I am to lazy to look up the word kinder in the dictionary.

The prefix "kinder" around the U.S. is the same prefix used for pre-1st graders as in "kindergarten." So yes...it means pretty much the same here in the States as in Holland.  We had a huge debate before Kinder Bunnies' release as to whether it was pronounced with the long I sound like in the word "bike" or the short I sound like the word "stick." |

Both seem to make sense. I'd go for the 'bike' sound. The bunnies seem nicer (kinder, although that probably isn't the way to say it, for grown-ups at least) than in the KB game.
Thanx for the info HotD.

It's actually pronounced like 'stick' so it's like pre-1st grader bunnies. |

In dutch it's also pronounced like 'stick'.

KinderBunnies is pronounced like Kindergarten, fyi... The game is really for kids, ages 5 & up, which you can clearly see if you play it on its own. Of course once you mix it in with KB, you're back to wacky grown-up fun - elisa |

Since I am 4 years old I may not play it on my own from my parents... I may swallow the dice.
