Review: Killer Bunnies - the next best thing to being waterboarded

Share

Part of the reason this game is so awful is because it seems like it has so much going for it.  It practically screams, "Hey, I'll make sure you have a good time."  Like Munchkin, Killer Bunnies and the Quest for the Magic Carrot touts itself as a fun, fast paced game where you get to stab your buddies in the back.  Or, in this case, kill their bunnies. 

Plus, when I first found it, it was sitting on the shelf at my local game shop.  It had three great things going for it: (1) Cardboard box.  Card games that come in a sturdy cardboard box (San Juan, Citadels, Bang!) tend to be better than ones that don't (Uno).  This doesn't hold true in all cases, but I think its a good rule of thumb.  Number (2) it was sitting between Munchkin and Gloom.  Both those games are pretty fun and I was hoping some of that would rub off by proximity.  And, finally, (3) it had a wacky name, art, and premise.  How could it go wrong?  I'll tell you exactly how after the jump.
