Setup

  • Place the board in the center of the table.

  • Each player chooses a rabbit and places it in the 0 square.

  • Shuffle the 84 cards and deal 6 to each player (without showing them). The rest form the robbery deck.

  • Each player takes the vote tokens of their color: 4 players → 1–4 · 5 players → 1–5 · 6 players → 1–6.

Rules

  1. 1

    The Storyteller chooses a card from his hand and gives a clue (word, phrase, sound or gesture) without showing it.

  2. 2

    Each other player chooses the card from their hand that best matches the clue and hands it face down.

  3. 3

    All the cards are shuffled, placed face up and everyone secretly votes which is the storyteller's.

  4. 4

    The narrator scores only if some (not all) players guess their card; those who deceive others also score.

  5. 5

    Advance your rabbit to the board; the first to reach 30 points wins.

Victory conditions

  • If everyone gets it right or nobody gets it right, the storyteller doesn't score and the others get 2 points. If some get it right, the storyteller and the guessers get 3 points. In addition, each player (except the narrator) gains +1 additional point for each vote their card received.

  • At the end of each turn, each player draws until they have 6 cards in their hand. The game ends when the deck runs out. Whoever reaches 30 points first, or has more when the cards run out, wins.
