Official Rules Version MC-Alpha-Epsilon

[Jason Pease]

Okay, so we need to get started on what this whole website was supposed to do in the first place. Come up with a comprehensive list of concrete rules for Killer Bunnies. It needs to be definitive and watertight.

So I want to get some input from you guys, how would be the best way to organize the rules? By card? Then we would also need to have a general rules section for rules that don't necessarily apply to a single card.

Not all cards have issues and/or discrepencies so it wouldn't be a list of all 400 cards.

So it would be like:

----------------------------------------------

Cyber Bunny:

Cyber Bunny is a Roaming Red Run card that stays in the bunny circle attacking bunnies until it is killed with a weapon.

The Cyber Bunny moves clockwise and attacks one bunny per round. The attack occurs at the beggining of the turn of the player who played the card.

If no bunnies are in the bunny circle, the Cyber Bunny stays dormant until someone places down a bunny. The Cyber Bunny is immediately placed on the new bunny and attacks as soon as the player of the Cyber Bunny's turn starts.

Weapons placed on the Cyber Bunny do not effect adjacent bunnies even if the card says so. Anyone can roll on the Cyber Bunny's behalf when it is attacked with a weapon.

Cyber Bunny may not be fed and cannot be killed with Terrible Misfortunes.

Bunnies connected with the Fingercuffs are atttacked seperately by the Cyber Bunny. If the Cyber Bunny kills either of them, they both die.

-----------------------------------------

See? Cover all the bases and seal up all the holes. I understand this will be a rather large undertaking but it will grow with time. The Killer Bunny community needs this.

Also, I hope to get the seal of approval from Mr. Bellinger as well. I will put it up on the site in a format that can be printed out kept with your set or used in tournaments.

So, what do you think?

[karmaween]

I would add one thing to cyber bunny. Clovers do not lower his attack because technically he is not a weapon.

[Yollege]

While it would be a huge undertaking, I agree that to get the rules spelled out well, a card by card breakdown will probably be needed.

A great idea, albeit a REALLY long one. Good luck with it. I'll help where I can, but being so new, this will help me more than I'll help it .

[maelic001]

Someone posted a compilation of the various card rulings in .pdf form on boardgamegeek. That might be a good base to start from...

[cdweller0]

I'll post mine, they're already written down.

Take them how you want them, my house rules are intertwined and I don't feel like taking them out. I don't expect everyone to agree... Note my twist on Dude, Where's My Carrot and I let people counteract Zep Tepi with the Guardian Angle if desired (provided it's not against a first-timer).

Also, I only have up to the Purple deck My sister is insisting I not buy another until after Christmas. Gee, wonder why...

[cdweller0]

There's a 10,000 character per post limit, I'll have to break it up... I can email the original Word .doc if anyone really wants, just ask. Would be nice to have a 'House Rules' post (just for fun) if we get the "Rules" down.

Activate: The Minilith
· The player of this card can only steal or force the player holding the Minilith to roll, not both.

Ancient Star Rod

· If the day, month and year are 3 even numbers, then the Rod may not be used at all
· If one odd number is rolled, the Rod is discarded.
· Placing this card underneath the Holographic Bunny turns it into a live bunny, capable of winning the game, but vulnerable to any weapon or circumstance. This may be done after the game has ended, provided the Rod is not the Top or Bottom Run card.

Area 51
· Any card an abducted bunny is carrying (Clover, Containment Suit, Trojan Bunny, The Ebola Virus, etc.) is lost to the discard pile.
· An abducted bunny is alive and the player may win the game with this bunny. However, abducted bunnies can not play aggressive cards.
· If a player has Bunnies in Black and wishes to abduct his own bunny, he may do so.
· Should Cyber Bunny be stalking an abducted bunny, he will not be sucked in and will continue on to the next bunny.

Bad Karma
· Bad Karma affects the player, not any particular bunny.
· The next weapon run through by a player with Bad Karma must be directed at one of that player’s bunny of choice. The weapon is not allowed to be discarded.
· If a weapon is run through while the player does not have a bunny alive, that player discards the weapon. Bad Karma is not removed until an innocent bunny is attacked.
· Bad Karma only applies to weapon cards.
· Reversal of Fortune may be used by a player to redirect an attack at his own bunny to any other bunny and Bad Karma will be discarded.
· Once a player is forced to attack his own bunnies, he may attack a protected bunny and discard the weapon. Weapons with a range will still have to be rolled against by affected bunnies.
· If the player’s only bunny is a Red Sinister Bunny and the bunny survives the roll, the weapon is discarded.

Baker Street
· Can be played on opponent’s without bunnies in the bunny circle.

Barrier
· Barriers may be placed between any two players. They do not have to be adjacent to the player that plays them.

· Bunnies saved by this card retain all beneficial cards in play.
· May be used on a bunny holding the Trojan Bunny only if the Trojan Bunny is about to explode and injure bunnies, or if the bunny with the Trojan Bunny is attacked by another weapon.
· When a bunny is saved, it is placed face down behind the bottom run card. The next time that player plays his top run card, the bottom run card will be moved to the top position and the bunny saved by Bunny to the Future will be placed in the position of the bottom run card. This bunny is not the bottom run card. The player must still draw and place a card down on top of the bunny as the bottom run card. When it is time to play the bunny, both the bunny and the run card will be played.

Thanks CD, that will be a huge help! I will be sure to give you some major props on the site!

Hey guys, the rules page is up! There's no rules on it yet but I alphabetized and created a quick-select box so you can zoom to the card faster! Let me know how it looks or what you think could be done to improve it!

home.twcny.rr.com/magiccarrot/rules.shtml

I'll start incorporating some of cd's rules into the page as well as some of my own.

[cdweller0]

For the most part I just compiled them, so no props really needed. Contributions came from the official site, your site, these boards and the Yahoo group. Thanks though

Oh yeah, and A through ummm... B looks good so far hehe

[Jason Pease]

Sweet. I will have to weed out some things. Like the Guardian Angle issue, the card clearly states protection from Terrible Misfortunes only.

[Jason Pease]

I'm on D now! Only 23 more letters to go!

[Kochanski]

Your specific cards rules are very cool. And good luck with the whole alphabet, it is a big job, but it will a great source when it is done.

I do however have another suggestion for you. With each expansion comes something else fun to be added to the party and the result is the rules for playing the game is spread out over several little books that you have to keep handy if you don't get to play often or are playing with new players. Perhaps if you could create a PDF rule book that would contain all of the rules for all of the expansions so that people could download it and have everything in one place it would be really cool.

Now I am not talking about specific rulings on the play of specific cards but more in the lines of explaining the weapons emporium, the zodiac cards, the pawns, specialty bunnies and whatever new fun they come up for us in the next expansions.

That way people like me or new players don't have to sit there with 5 or more little rule books just to know how to play.

What do you think?
