IELLOBunny Kingdom, Strategy Board Game, Expand Your Fief by Just a Hare, 45 Minute Play Time, 2 to 4 Players, for Ages 14 and Up

This is such a fun game! We’ve played it a bunch of times with young kids, older kids, and grownups, and the game dynamic (which simple enough for kids to figure out) makes for a great, fast paced, and engaging game. One of our favorites for sure.

I previously played this with two other friends and seriously enjoyed it, and I couldn't wait to own it! After trying it again, it has become a particular favorite in my board game collection and I highly recommend it. The cuteness of Bunny Kingdom's design makes this strategy game feel more approachable.It does take some effort to learn/teach, especially with the differences in the flow of play between 2 player and larger games. There are lots of little nuances to pick up on, but the challenge is fun! You can focus on building powerful fiefs, but there are also "parchment" cards that add variety and an element of surprise to play, giving you stacking bonuses, rewarding you for taking certain areas of the map, treasures, etc. Passing hands around the table and drafting cards leads the players to considering not only which cards work best for them, but which ones they DON'T want the other players to have.Just be aware that the first playthrough may frustrate players who are new to more complex board games. It also involves a decent amount of math, so break out the calculator and scratch paper for best results. It would be a great gift for a tabletop gamer that likes strategic thinking.The rule booklet is well-organized and clearly illustrated to help you understand the ways you place pieces and score fiefs. The board, cards, and game pieces are cute, whimsical, colorful, and on theme. The box feels quite sturdy and it arrived in perfect condition.

Bunny Kingdom is a great combination of area control mechanics and drafting. The artwork and general character are extremely charming and the rules are straightforward and generally simple.Despite the artwork and design, however, I think the game is going to be a little much for children. The drafting phases require you to evaluate as many as 10 different cards at once and pick your two favorites. It can take a lot of focus to look at the board and see how you could connect a bunch of your territories together with the cards you're looking at and if you're just picking "randomly" then I think the scoring phase will be a little disheartening. Furthermore, it's probably a little too long for most children.On the other hand, this game is AWESOME for adults! I've played it with adults of all levels of board game experience and everyone has loved it. Even after playing it myself a dozen or more times, I'm still happy every time I bring it out. The mechanics really sing and it's just such a pleasure to play and watch all my friends fiddle with the adorable bunnies and city tokens. The game moves quickly, with all players acting simultaneously during both the draft and building phases and the board/deck are just tight enough that competition for territory can be exciting.The game even has a good 2 player variant that makes drafting interesting even with two people. Overall, this has quickly become my favorite game of the year!

Just played the game with my girlfriend and we both really enjoyed it! We're big fans of board games and have a decent collection between the two of us.I'm always looking for new games to play and the theme of this game caught my eye and took a look. After a few reviews and a quick video I was interested.The artwork is nice, the layout is great, and the player involvement and interaction is well balanced. It can be cut throat and competitive as well, so dont let the cute little bunnies fool you!I don't have much to complain about and my reasons for the 4 star and not 5 are minor but still enough to bring it down a star.I did receive the smaller board with my copy of the game, which isn't terrible, but I can see how some people could complain about it. Iello offers the larger board on their website for free but the shipping is hefty which is kind if a bummer.The box organization isn't terrible, but not the best either. They give you individual bags for your bunny pieces and a cheap bubble bag for the cities but nothing for the punch out pieces or for the cards. Which there are a lot of cards and they could get flopped around pretty easily.Over all, my complaints don't break the game and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relatively quicker game for nearly any gamer. The theme is fun, as mentioned before, the artwork is nice and gameplay is fun.Really happy with the game overall!
