The View From My Window

Hmmm...my thoughts (good, bad, and in-between) and daily (weekly, monthly, however often I actually update) experiences.

Killer Bunnies blah, blah, blah

My sister Nana bought a game for the family to play. It was called "Killer Bunnies and the Quest for the Magic Carrot." We tried to play it last night. The lady at the game store said, "It's a little complicated and takes a little bit to learn but it is really fun." It took 25 minutes just to read 2/3 of the direction booklet (yes booklet not sheet) out loud to the 8 players. We still didn't know how to play and Matt quit and Ryan arrived and took his place. We started anyway without bothering to tell Ryan the directions because really, we were as lost as he was. After one round Maggie quit because she had somewhere else to be (and if she'd been having fun I bet she would have put that other thing off) and Richard arrived to take her place. After 2 rounds my niece wasn't playing but my sister Maha played for her for another few rounds before my niece actually left the table to go read Harry Potter in the other room. A round or two after that Nana and Dan were whispering to each other about just sweeping all the cards off of the table. That's when we quit. Nana said she hated the game so much she would rather play Monopoloy which we don't play in my family because...it's just not pretty when we do! So, out of ten people involved ten people hated it. Maybe that's too strong a word but the feelings ranged from outright hatred to dislike to complete disinterest. But no one said, "Let's keep playing!" or "Maybe we should try it again." Nana said, "Even if the lady at the store won't exchange it or give me my money back I'm going to just give it to her because this is the worst game I've ever tried."

It is a card game, I guess. There are several decks of cards (bunny cards, carrot cards, water and cabbage cards, weapon cards, special cards, very special cards) and no board. I'm not sure about the ages. I wish you good luck with it!
