I have played it multiple times, with various expansions. People on here who tell those who hate this game that you don't understand the strategy walk around with their thumbs up their rectums snacking on paint chips. The only strategy this game has is hope to God you draw a bunny sometime in the game, and that no one can kill it before you get it out. It is more fun to stick a random deck of cards on a table and draw cards randomly from it while literally stabbing your friends in the back.

Now my 9 year old is constantly asking to play. There is strategy, there is chance, and the hilarious card descriptions are worth just sitting and reading.... The only folks I've found that didn't love it were my parents, and they don't play games much anyway.

One correction though - the game let's you take a "mulligan" so if you don't get any bunnies in your opening hand you can discard the hand and redraw until you do. Apart from that, everything else is correct. It's a totally stupid game - that's why I love it and that's also why many others hate it :)Carl Billingtonhttp://worlddominationcollective.weebly.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321886159176376776.post-77159042226742783842014-07-19T12:01:10.210-07:002014-07-19T12:01:10.210-07:00Strategically you are flawed; it's not the gam...Strategically you are flawed; it's not the game. Just because you can't figure out how to win, it is a bad game... comical! If you don't start off with bunnies, don't throw a pity party... Figure out what to do. In that case, put your special cards face down, then when you flip them over, you can throw them to the side to start stockpiling assets to use later. Secondly, you shouldn't start throwing bunnies up right away anyways until you have a couple in a row. That is a noob move but you wouldn't know that because you just spite the game. If you don't put up a bunny early, people will most likely use their best weapon card and there won't be an opposing bunny to play it on and now they just wasted cards.. Yes, the person who is supposed to win the whole game is now wasting their best cards while you are stockpiling special cards to use once he has used up all of his good ones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321886159176376776.post-66022097468012419342014-04-13T16:21:58.221-07:002014-04-13T16:21:58.221-07:00This game is truly terrible.

In one game I played, 1 player (fortunately not me) did not draw a single bunny card in a game lasting an hour, meaning he could not play any card for the entire game. This aside, almost every single mechanic is stupid. Using house rules as suggested above do go some way to fixing this, but out of the box this game is fundamentally flawed in every single aspect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321886159176376776.post-63149883598180013352014-02-16T09:16:42.651-08:002014-02-16T09:16:42.651-08:00We love this game, and so has everyone that has tr...We love this game, and so has everyone that has tried it on our recommendation. I agree with the suggestion on removing some of the more destructive cards at the beginning of the game. Some are just too much. If we don't have time for a full game, we sometimes dole some carrots out in advance to shorten the game. If we don't have bunnies, we use that as an opportunity to run special or very special cards through our stack so we can save them for using later. This also gets them out of our hand so we have more opportunity for other cards. I do think they should have more Karbala dollas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321886159176376776.post-32733418835785728582013-12-26T04:16:59.731-08:002013-12-26T04:16:59.731-08:00I found this post when searching for alternate &qu...I found this post when searching for alternate "winning" rules. <br /><br />My experiences with the game have been entirely different from the reviewer. I have seen, many times, the early dominant be obliterated. The lead changes often when my family plays Killer Bunnies.<br /><br />I find it interesting that no mention was made of what to me is the biggest problem with the game; the randomness of winning. This is the issue for which I was seeking alternate rules.<br />mrsrjdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08239580009527153018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321886159176376776.post-10136106390286953132013-09-12T13:38:21.607-07:002013-09-12T13:38:21.607-07:00I was quite disappointed to read this review of Ki...I was quite disappointed to read this review of Killer Bunnies. It is a favorite in my home, my school and my church. I am a teacher and senior high youth group leader. Every individual to whom I have introduced the game has become addicted. My past students come back each year and ask when I am starting the club up again. I waited to announce a few weeks this year and was approached by their parents at Open House. I find the game quite enjoyable and recommend it to everyone!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321886159176376776.post-81822959380335462562013-08-02T14:25:49.028-07:002013-08-02T14:25:49.028-07:00As a father of 3 young kids we all play along as a...As a father of 3 young kids we all play along as a family and enjoy the comic book violence, and spite. This is not a game of huge skill but when we play as a family - no one really cares; this is a game about having fun where all have a equalish chance of winning.<br /><br />The original review has some merit but this is not a game for avoiding; it is a game for inviting friends and family over and having fun.darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06881892676800701355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321886159176376776.post-69898706165365313872013-06-23T20:02:03.949-07:002013-06-23T20:02:03.949-07:00We own the game.

But it just isn't that good.<br /><br />In fact, you highlighted some of the more aggravating parts. Losing your bunny and then two turns in a row (since you no longer have a bunny to power your cards) is not fun. <br /><br />As I said, I'm glad you enjoy it and wish you many more plays.

However, this game begs of homemade rules additions/changes, and with just a few the flaws of this game can be overcome and you can fully enjoy the awesomeness and hilarity of this game. I'll list the major ones that I play with:<br />1. Everyone starts the game with a basic bunny already in play.<br />2. Remove the requirement of having a bunny from many of the cards, especially weapons and feed the bunnies.<br />3. Keep the top/bottom run system, but play with 7 cards in hand instead of 5.<br />4. Don't put every card from every expansion in. Leave out the ones that aren't useful or are too powerful so that there will be fewer draws that either totally change the game or feel totally pointless.<br />5. In the expansions, there are bunnies that allow you to play two run cards a turn. That is, something you set this turn can be played next turn. Add all of these in, and make some yourself and add those.<br /><br />Hopefully someone will see this and be able to have as much fun with this as game as I have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321886159176376776.post-17377429815720122802012-06-22T11:02:20.251-07:002012-06-22T11:02:20.251-07:003.5 to 4 out of 5, sorry3.5 to 4 out of 5, sorryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321886159176376776.post-88482535388850473322012-06-22T11:01:12.350-07:002012-06-22T11:01:12.350-07:00The game is built for a larger multiplayer experie...The game is built for a larger multiplayer experience. 5 or more. If you can manage to play the game with this number of people then the disadvantages do not always occur and the game can be a blast. However with 4 or fewer the game is a lot tougher to come from behind to get a good shot at winning. I can definitely see the reasoning behind the initial comments because I have experienced both.

However, all of the above is true.<br /><br />The delayed card play makes no sense and detracts from enjoyment. The "must own a bunny" requirement on good cards hampers those who lag behind. And the game chugs on well after the fun and novelty wear off. And, each pack does have one or more cards usable only with the expansion.<br /><br />Like I said, have fun with the game. To each their own. But just because a select few enjoy it, does not mean that it doesn't have glaring problems that will ruin the game for most.GeekInsighthttp://gfbrobot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321886159176376776.post-42920680300999231232012-01-31T13:22:04.089-08:002012-01-31T13:22:04.089-08:00This review is not true at all.

You DO NOT need the expansions to play any cards. The expansions sometimes add to the effects of certain cards but are never required. Also, the tables turn many times in a game. Very rarely does one player dominate the entire game. This is a great game and it would be a pity if you believed what this guy said.

Nothing that this person said was true! I now own all of the expansions and they are not needed to play the original game. Yes some cards lead or hint at other expansions but that's what was intended. it isn't needed however. Also the line where they stated that there isn't a way to come from behind but there is and lots of ways! Why don't you try it out for yourselves instead of taking the opinion of one persons one time playing this game.
