Sneak into the garden and stir up some bunny mischief! Rascally Rabbits reimagines trick taking with a clever trick writing twist. Every bunny plays from their own garden card, creating a fast, interactive game full of surprising turns and playful fun. 🐰
Most trick-taking games begin by dealing a random hand.
Rascally Rabbits lets you build your own.
Before each round, players customize their garden card by choosing which crops to block, dividing their garden, and crossing out numbers. Every decision changes how you'll play the round.
Will you:
🥕 Win tricks?
🐰 Collect rabbits?
🎯 Hit your bid?
🤔 Balance all three?
No two gardens are ever the same.
🐇 Collect Rabbits... Then Score Big!
Winning tricks isn't your only path to victory.
If you match both the crop and number another player announced, you'll collect a mischievous rabbit.
Then comes the big decision. Keep winning tricks or finish the round with zero tricks and turn your rabbit collection into a huge scoring opportunity.
Sometimes the cleverest bunny wins by avoiding tricks altogether.
Whether you're looking for the base game, the complete Rascally Rabbits experience, or an entire collection of Sunrise Tornado favorites, there's a pledge level for every bunny!
Rascally Rabbits comes in a 5.1" × 5.1" × 1.6" box—it's actually larger and more substantial than it may appear in photos, while still being compact enough to easily bring to game nights, conventions, and vacations. There’s plenty of trick-taking strategy and bunny mischief packed inside! 🥕🐰
Rascally Rabbits is easy to learn but offers plenty of clever decisions every round.
At the beginning of every round, a favorite crop (trump suit) is randomly decided for all players. Then, you ...
🌱 1. Customize Your Garden
At the beginning of each round, every player receives a unique reusable garden card. Before play begins, you'll:
Put a triangle on the favorite crop / trump suit (Mushroom).
Cross out one crop on the top (Broccoli).
Divide your garden with a vertical line.
Cross out two numbers (6 and 1).
Predict how many tricks you'll win.
These simple choices create your own unique "hand" for the round.
In the example above, the player has customized their garden to maximize the favorite crop (Mushroom) while minimizing the Broccoli suit.
🐰 2. Play Tricks
The lead player announces a crop and a number from their garden card. Other players must follow the lead crop whenever possible. The highest value in the lead crop wins the trick, unless a trump crop is played.
Instead of playing cards from your hand, you'll simply mark them off your garden card.
🥕 3. Collect Rascally Rabbits
If you play the exact same crop and number that another player announced during the trick, you've become a Rascally Rabbit!
Circle a rabbit on your garden card and keep collecting them throughout the game.
🎯 4. End Round - Score Points
The round ends after 13 tricks have been played or when a player wins 7 tricks. Players then score points for the number of tricks they won and for meeting or exceeding their bid. For example, 2 points for winning 1 trick and 6 points for 5 tricks.
Feeling sneaky? Finish a round with zero tricks to turn your rabbits into a huge scoring opportunity!
👑 5. Win the Game
After three rounds, the player with the most points from tricks, bids, and rabbits becomes the most Rascally Rabbit in the garden!
