This card game is an interesting concept to say the least. The game uses a traditional card playing style however the makeup of the cards is anything but conventional. Players must get as many bunnies into play as possible and these can have 1 of 5 different colours and 1 of 5 different personalities - Congenial Bunny, Timid Bunny, Gleeful Bunny, Sinister Bunny and Lumbering Bunny. Once bunnies are in play, players can then use weapon cards in their hand to eradicate any opposition bunnies. The weapons available are too many to outline here but there are some amusing options available. However bunny elimination alone will not guarantee victory. In fact to win players must acquire money with which they can purchase carrots from the local store. Of course these can be lost, stolen and swapped throughout the game with the use of numerous special play cards making for one hectic and unpredictable contest. When the last carrot is purchased the game ends and the bottom card of a special carrot deck is revealed. The number of this carrot is declared the Magic Carrot and all players must check their carrot pile (acquired during the game). If they own the carrot with the matching number then they are declared the winner (but only if they have at least one bunny still alive - so keep those guys safe!!! Cards are set out on the table in front of each player and players of Magic the Gathering will feel comfortable with this almost immediately.

I'll tackle the issue of the title first. If parents are looking at this game but are put off by the word 'Killer' I would like to try and minimise your concerns. Whilst this word may be unfortunate, the game is in no way bloodthirsty and actually rates as no more harmful than your average Looney Tunes Cartoon or Hollywood Movie. Having said that I still wouldn't think it appropriate for ages below 12. Ok now to the game. It plays much like a simpler and more accessible version (for non role-players) of Munchkin. The play is very open as players can turn their newfound weapon on any player's bunny and this helps to keep a runaway leader in check. Luck plays a pretty big role, which will appeal to many people. Most weapons require a roll above a certain number using a 12 sided die (eg 8+) and the final victory condition could see a person win who only purchased 1 of the 12 carrots on offer. Personally I found this to be an endearing quality as it helps to keep the game fun and non-serious. It also helps to keep family members coming back if they feel they have just as much chance as you (who may be an experienced gamer). All in all it is worth a look and further expansions are promised to build on the existing complexity should you desire it.
