RULES:

The object of the game is to be the first player to 30 points. Set out the board. Each player chooses a color and takes voting tokens equal to the number of players (make sure they are sequential starting with #1). Place each player’s colored rabbit marker on the start square. Shuffle the cards and deal 6 to each player, who keep them hidden from each other.

Each round 1 player is the “Active Player”. The active player picks one card from his hand and describes it with as much or little detail as they choose. Descriptions can be a part of a poem or song, a movie title, a proverb, a noise, a word, a sentence, anything you want.

Every other player then picks a card from their hand that they think closest matches the active players description. These cards are placed face down on the table and once all have been received, the Active player shuffles them and flips them over, revealing them to all the players, in the spaces on next to the board, starting with number 1.

Every player except the active player now uses their voting tokens to secretly pick which card (corresponding to the number its on) they think is the active player’s. You are not allowed to vote for your own. Once all the votes are in, players reveal their choices by placing it on the card they picked. The active player then reveals which card is theirs.

If all the players find the active player’s card then the active player receives 0 points and every other player receives 2 points. If no player finds the active player’s card, then the active player receives 0 points and every other player receives 2 points. Additionally, every other player receives 1 bonus point per vote on their card. If at least 1 player, but not all the players, finds the active player’s card then the active player receives 3 points and each player who found the active player’s card receives 3 points. Additionally, every other player receives 1 bonus point per vote on their card. Move your score token up one for each point you receive.

Discard the used cards and every player draws until they have 6 cards back in their hand. The active player rotates clockwise to the next player. The first player to 30 points wins. Or if the draw deck runs out of cards before then, the player with the most points wins.

In a 3-player game, each player has 7 cards in their hand instead of 6. Use the voting numbers 1-5, and each round the non-active players submit two cards instead of the normal 1.

The best part about this game is that the scoring rules are printed right on the board. They sound complicated, and they are, but that's no hindrance to new players, since they can easily consult the board if they forget how many points everyone should earn. I love board games that are beginner-friendly like this.

We found this game for 2 bucks at a thrift store. There were no instructions, but complete otherwise. And now we know how to play. Thank you.
