How to Play Killer Bunnies (Introductory Tutorial Video)

[@Queen_CourtK]

My son's teacher is the creator of this game. It's pretty neat to see how it's played out. Thanks for the video

[@nathandavidson5805]

That's cool 😎 get a some cards signed

[@thomast6741]

You're still relevant! I haven't played killer bunnies since the divorce, but now my daughter is old enough to start slaying rabbits! I had completely forgotten how to play and trying to figure it out on the fly was much harder than it should have been. Thank you!!!

[@JesseChapman]

What a sweet comment. Very glad that this allowed you to dive back in and connect with someone you love.

[@DavidLu-m3n]

Flip, slide, draw and replace is the 🔑 in this game!!! Thank you for the tutorial, I am gonna try to teach people how to play before the New Year!

[@RaptureRabbit]

"....break up with me....and leave me alone...." GREAT PERSONALITY!! Great lesson.

[@woodfamily5229]

This was great. Thank you. I have ten or so sets of different Killer Bunnies, but haven't played in ten years and my 9 and 6 year old kids both wanted to learn how to play. This was a great refresher.

[@JesseChapman]

So glad you found this helpful!

[@worldofwashabaugh9403]

Thank you!! The instructions were so confusing and you made it very clear! We’ve been playing kinder bunnies since my kids were little and now we’re ready for KILLER bunnies. Haha

[@pigglespoopoo]

Thank frickin' Cthulhu someone made a video instruction and demonstration of how to play this game. I read the instruction manual and the bunny bits book and nearly went cross-eyed. This helps a tonne! Thanks, bud!

[@HavocFactory]

I nearly went cross-eyed from the out of focus video... lol

[@televisionsavant]

This is a great primer on how to play Killer Bunnies + some entertaining humor. Will recommend new players to watch this video before we play!

[@raydenlangan9744]

when I got the game I was reading the books and didn't get any Idea how to play killer bunnies but the video helped alot and now I can't stop playing the game. so thanks for the video on how to play.

[@JesseChapman]

Glad I could help. Love this game. Don't get to play it enough.

[@iwanttoseemrshow]

I bought this game. Opened it up. Read the rules.....was befuddled. THEN, I watched your tutorial and started playing! Thank you for this!

[@Olympic_TryAthlete]

Haven’t played this for years, but still hands down my favorite card game. Live some of the Terrible Misfortune cards (like hit by stray lawn dart) and weapons (green jello with evil pineapple chunks).

[@JesseChapman]

It's such a fun and funny game. I always recommended it.

[@Tanneremerson]

thank you for this tutorial! I picked this game up at a thrift store (for $3.99 no less) and played it with my family tonight. unfortunately I watched this tutorial AFTER we played and we missed a few of the rules. Thanks to you, next time we will play with ALL the rules!

[@dwayne5360]

Excellent explanation. Very clean audio, easy to understand. Thank you.

[@Fridge_Worthy_Art]

Very Well done, hadn't played in a while and my kids wanted to play. I didn't feel like reading so turned to this. Much easier to understand just seeing it. Thanks

[@estefeezy]

Great video. Surprisingly hilarious! Made me fricking holler at times

[@JesseChapman]

Very happy you enjoyed! And love your Majora's Mask icon :p

[@garebalo7136]

I have played twice. This is an excellent demo and instruction video. Thank you so much!!!

[@melaniebaumgartner5251]

Thanks for this video (yws I am watching this in 2020). I am a pretty bad in getting the meaning out of reading rules, I just don't get them, so I am depended on people like you, making such great videos. Geetings from Denmark and thanks for saving the bordgamesaturday

[@CyberNerd322]

Just purchased this game at Half Price Books today. My dad and I are currently in the learning process on how to play it.

[@JesseChapman]

It's complicated but really fun. Let me know if you have any questions!

[@chocopoof]

Pretty good video just the other day I was introduced to this game and didn't got most of it and this video made it really easy to understand the basics of the game thanks! :)

[@JesseChapman]

Glad I could help. I haven't played Rook. I was joking about the friend with Kaballa Dolla, it's just a silly name, though that friend refuses to call it that still to this day and calls it "dollars" or "money."

[@OllySteele]

Great video, thanks for the tutorial. For some reason, I was really struggling with the instructions included.

[@melodygrants8974]

Me and my family love Killer Bunnies!!!! We just recently got The Conquest for The Magic Carrot!! WE love it!!! I love the expansion packs. and on the Carrot thing you mentioned at the start one game my sister got 8 carrots. My brother did not have any carrots so she gave him a carrot card. We went through and in the end my Brother and I were left and he ended up winning... And then the yelling started.

[@alphacalico9645]

R.I.P sister

[@kraegandragon]

Good video, I would love to see it redone with a higher resolution camera and in chronological order. Meaning game setup prior to card description so that the playfield is clear from the beginning. Just my 2-Kaballa Dolla worth of advice. Thanks for the video.

[@kraegandragon]

Oh, and how the game ends would be good to cover.

[@JesseChapman]

All good tips! Maybe one day there will be a HD REMASTER :p

[@bugshair]

your commentary was awesome, definitely lold! cheers!

[@flyingdeadcow]

This is a really fun game, i highly recommend it to anyone who likes card or board games.

[@MountainMitchYT]

Greatest game of all time hands down. I never play any other board / card games except this, never had a reason to because this one is so fun. Just don't get the booster pack with the Ball and take all the rank cards out of the game.

[@michaelgeracie9228]

Didn't mention Flo's Prune Danish! : ) Thanks for the great video BTW

[@peterfinnfilms]

I noticed a mistake. Terrible Misfortunes are supposed to be discarded if you don't have any bunnies in play, not placed on another player's bunny. Or at least I think that's it, I might be mistaken. Great vid, though. What do you think of the other Killer Bunnies games (Ultimate Odyssey, Conquest, Journey to Jupiter, etc.)?

[@MarcoByskov]

Great video and humor ! I think I'm going to buy it right away

[@Iomega311]

Great video! You had the whole family rolling. 😂

[@sarahvontettenborn121]

Please discuss Barrier Cards. We are trying to decide if you can launch a Roaming Red Run card at a player hemmed in by Barrier Cards? Then, the barrier cards would direct the direction of play for the Roaming Red Card; or does being hemmed in by Barrier Cards prevent you from playing a Roaming Red Card or having a Red Roaming Card played on the player hemmed in by Barrier Cards

[@Matello11]

This was a lot of help. Thanks so much!!!!!

[@ColeB-jy3mh]

Find a need fulfill a need, thanks for the video :)

[@msraerae91]

This video was so helpful!! The instructions were so confusing and so much to read. Can you explain bunny triplets? The bunny cards say players can take two turns when they have 3 of a kind (or 3 of the same color). Would a player follow the same 4 steps but twice?

[@timr2650]

I'm glad you posted this. I was considering this game for a while now after working at a game kiosk years ago and people were buying this and expansion packs like crazy. I finally decided to see what it looks like via youtube and here it is. Why did your friend stop playing because of Kabbla Dolla? lol -PS If you know how to play Rook with 4 players please post a vid of that. The vid posted is a guy trying to be funny and I can't understand him. The other vid is people making fun of him.

[@speabody]

Years ago I saved this video just for the humor, as I learned this game in college. Such as: "Why is [an ex-girlfriend] over playing a card game with me?" I have to respect that your friend was so displeased at the concept of Kaballa Dolla that he refused to play any longer lol.

[@MrGreg8337]

this game is awesome and it works well with kids, starting 8-10 and up.

[@Seaturtle03esdp]

(6) The very special card called sunny day can be exchanged for the white stuff. What is the white stuff? (7) Very special card rooneys reusables, how can you use this card if you can only play your top run card? Sorry for all the questions for my last one what do you think of the expansion and will you do videos on them?

[@AmazingJJ29]

this is an awesome video

[@JesuszillaCorp]

Still doubt ill be able to explain this to my idiot friends with my dense self but the best explanation so far. Ill keep looking see if it gets clearer, bought a remix for $5 but we already have so many unplayed games due to confusion explaining how to play em.

[@eddyschilling]

@peterfinnfilms In the rules, it clearly says if you have no bunnies, and you draw a terrible misfortune, you can put it on any bunny in the bunny circle and it dies. There is more proof on the killer bunnies website

[@jills32]

Great tutorial. This is very helpful. A couple questions though: If Cyber Bunny is sitting on a players bunny and they draw a Terrible Misfortune card can they use it to kill the bunny with the Cyber Bunny or would they have to use it on another one of their bunnies? Can a bunny use a Lucky Clover card more than once or must it be discarded after an attack (assuming the bunny survives)?

[@JesseChapman]

The later games will give you vouchers (little cardboard pieces) to keep track of change. Until then, keep track on a piece of paper what the market owes you. From the instructions: If the right amounts of Cabbage Units, Water Units or KABALLA DOLLA do not exist in the Discard Piles to make change, then keep track of what the game owes you and take the change when it becomes available.

[@Fluffyumpkins]

Thank you for sharing!

[@peterfinnfilms]

@EddyBud08 I know. I just recently looked at the instructions again, and you're right.

[@maxximus86]

Dang! Thanks for this collegeisamovie. My friends play and I've been dying to learn.

[@jackford6848]

Thanks I love this game!

[@jshuldawg]

Thanks! I love this game; it is defiantly one of those games you "get it" once you play your first round. I hope someone can make an IPad app game for KB!

[@artybrandt]

I've been waiting years for an app however some of the mechanics I think would be quite a challenge to implement

[@Seaturtle03esdp]

HELP: I have so many questions im not sure about. (1) There are run cards like Maggots, and special cards like Bug off, Bug off sais to immediately counteract. After using do you draw another card? (2) special, and very special cards can be played directly from the hand? (3) If cards are played from the hand does that take up your turn instead of playing your top card?

[@JesseChapman]

Glad this helped! If you have any specific questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.

[@Seaturtle03esdp]

(4) Some special cards make you roll a die and they say feed any bunny 1 cabbage and 1 water immediately. Does this mean you have to feed the bunny or it will die or it immediately feeds the bunny so that you don't have to against a feed card? (5) For cards that attack all the bunnies once at a time like ebola, cyber bunny, and miniature black hole, do they attack your bunnies if you put the card down?

[@JesseChapman]

This is not an official rule in the game, and in fact, if you play this as a house rule this would significantly reduce the gameplay in my opinion. Just save your specials, discard cards you don't like, and play quickly if you don't have a good hand so you can continue to draw new cards.

[@tyb1820]

Love this guy!

[@juli2331]

can you clarify how to play the double no trouble card? It is a bit vague, it says kaballa doubles your dolla OR gives you amounts in cabbage cards, water cards, carrots, defense cards or pawns from any open shop. so does this mean if I have 10 dolla for example I can take 20 carrots? that is the whole deck and ends the game? thanks!

[@mamaLindstrom]

i got the chocolate expansion but it doesnt explain how to use Psi, Nu o rOmega cards, and what are kinder bunnies? You should make an advanced tutorial. That would be so helpful.

[@sonicrik10]

what do you start with

[@keithquarterman6357]

Does anyone know if you can discard any of the 5 cards in you're hand if you don't like them and redraw?

[@wahwah808]

Thanks for the intro!

[@classydevo]

how do you get bunny money change if you're the first one to buy from the market? For example I have 10 dolla and I buy a cabbage and water for 6 dolla, how do I get my 4 dolla change?

[@iheartdota]

Good job. subtle humor.

[@mikeberk4406]

Jesse, have you tried the Killer Bunnies and the Ultimate Oddyssey game? I got it as a gift and am thoroughly confused.

[@JesseChapman]

It doubles the amount of money that you have. If you have 10 Dolla, you now have 20 Dolla. But if you don't want to actually get the money from the discard pile you can instantly spend it at Kaballa's Market (that's what the "gives you amounts" part means). Make sense?

[@Alextheartist17]

Worked for this guy for 2 years. the last deck I finished for him he wanted me to modify half the deck for free. I do admit dude was consistent pay but the fact that he would not pay for changes left him in a heart beat. When I say changes I mean ree do the entire vector image lol!! Dude just hit up my wife to illustrate for him, she told homey in nicer words to bugger off. total palm to face. As far as respect yes, he is solid for his word though he banks on new artist.

[@Deciheximal]

I need help. What if I have no bunnies in play, and someone plays a weapon card? This is not clear in the manual. It only talks about how you must have a bunny in play to win the game.

[@JesseChapman]

If someone plays a weapon card, they must play it ON a specific bunny. If you don't have any they can choose to play it on their own (which they shouldn't typically)... or you can (as always) discard any card you don't want to play.

[@Deciheximal]

@@JesseChapman So say, the weapon enters the que, the bunny in play dies, the weapon becomes active, the weapon should then be discarded? Should the next item in the que be automatically used?

[@Deciheximal]

@@JesseChapman card, not item

[@speabody]

@@Deciheximal If there was a bunny in play but there aren't any by the time the top card is revealed then yes, discard. It's a wasted card. It's part of the game strategy. Like if you have your own run card in queue but your bunny/bunnies are killed before it is revealed. The function of the card is nullified and can only be discarded. Cards in queue are not committed to specific bunnies when they enter the run stack. You only select the target when the card is turned over. If the bunny you wanted to kill is gone you just attack a different bunny, if there are any.

[@petraf2]

sry for my bad english. I have a question: Can I save as many cards as I wanted to? Or will I need a money card for every card I wanna save and additionally a money card for every carrot I wanna save? Thanks!

[@JesseChapman]

You can save as many Specials or Very Specials as you'd like, and you can use as many saved cards in a turn as you'd like. Money is separate from saving cards entirely.

[@patierose777]

What about the other good cards?

[@tommyshaehlers3522]

[@camillehorst6602]

Hi! very helpful video! buut we got into a stituaton and we weren't sure what to do (still begginners....) - can the Holy Halo counter Cyber Bunny? It's not written anywhere...

No, a weapon kills the Cyber Bunny, honestly any weapon.

[@alphacalico9645]

[@therataki]

i think you can only play very specials directly

[@RayenTrail]

Can you have more than 1 bunny in play ( so flipped and ready to fight?)

[@JesseChapman]

You can and should! Remember, when you have three of a kind (type or color) you take two turns in a row!

[@WLK1965]

When you play a special, or very special from your hand, do you get to draw a replacement card?

[@JesseChapman]

You can only play a Special card from your hand on your turn, and you do that INSTEAD OF flipping your top run card. If you do this, yes, you draw a replacement card just as you would had you done your run card. You can play a Very Special at any point in the game, and yes, if you play it from your hand you draw a replacement immediately after resolving the card effects. If you play a saved Special or Very Special, you do not draw a replacement, obviously.

[@AmyMichaelsmusic]

Where do you get the extra pink manual from? Mine only came with one?

[@JesseChapman]

You need to contact Playroom Entertainment for a replacement manual. Ever Blue starter game should come with both. Either that or return your game at the store for an exchange and let them know that it was missing parts.

[@Time-competition-594]

So throughout the game you should be maintaining 6 cards in your hand?

[@JesseChapman]

Tristan Hiebert 5 cards in hand, two cards down.

[@nathanmitchell2827]

I cannot get people to play this game with me, and it sucks cause this game is AMAZING!!!!

thanks

[@macadysmith1722]

Very fun game but I wish it had another goal beside the carrot. Theres really no reason why you are all killing each other besides the fact that if someone doesn't have a bunny in play then they automatically can't win. I wish there was a different way to win

[@JesseChapman]

[@MaximusColeman]

Trust me, it's worth it. It takes at least 15 minutes to explain to others, even after you're played many times!

[@JesseChapman]

It's a cool game but it's entirely different and not my style. It's more for people who are used to Magic or other types of collectable card games.

[@chimera5x2]

you forgot two very bullcrap unwritten rules you would only know about if you read the pink manual. 1) Cyber Bunny (my favorite Run card) cannot be removed using Area 51, as he was created by the Bayeas in the first place. 2) Carrot No. 4, Flo, has a one time only effect where she gives you one free feeding.

hi thanks for watching im stilla piece of garbage

[@roamsweethome4895]

I’ve read the instructions, and the bunny bits, AND watched numerous how-to videos and it seems to me NO ONE knows how to accurately instruct how to play this game! Including the Game Designers! This video would’ve been more informative if you hadn’t jumped around so much, (and maybe found a friend or two to show an actual gameplay). The $20 I shelled out for this game is rapidly becoming a frustrating waste of money.

[@JesseChapman]

There were many other videos that I saw that had multiple players playing and I didn't feel like that was a good way to instruct on how to play this game, which is why I opted to do a solo tutorial. Many people found it helpful and I'm sorry you did not.
