The Inside Scoop on Gaming

The scenario is this:

"You and your friends are living pleasant and complete lives in Happyville. You are highly trained and well-paid sous-chefs, who have decided to climb to the top of a tall building as fast as you can.

"Devil Bunny Needs a Ham.

"And he's pretty sure that knocking you off the building will help him get one.

"Perhaps he is right.

"Perhaps he is not."

You're probably wondering "Why are the players climbing to the top of a building? Can't you reason with this Devil Bunny?" Good questions, but they're not going to be answered in this review!

Devil Bunny Needs a Ham is the fast paced board game where the players try to move their climbers to the top of the building. But beware! The Devil Bunny will try to pounce on the climbers, thereby knocking them off in hopes to kill them, and thus getting his ham!

The rules are simple--each player has two to three climbers (depending on the number of players), and gets to roll two to three dice (again, depending on the number of players). On a 6, the Devil Bunny pounces on the higest climber on the building, knocking him down. If no one is directly below him, he falls to the ground, possibly dying if he has already crossed the Line of Death. Any other number means the player can use a dice to move one of his climbers. Get up to the top, and you score points! If you have the most points (or you're the only surviving player) you win!

Now for the bad: There isn't any! This game only cost two bucks, so don't complain!
