In Bunny Kingdom, players lead rabbit clans to build cities and gather resources by drafting cards and placing tokens on a 100-tile grid. You strategically settle in lakes, fields, forests, and mountains to collect water, carrots, mushrooms, and rare resources. After four rounds, scoring is based on connected territories, cities, and resource diversity. Recruiting rabbit lords secretly boosts your final points.
