Waddup Connor! I didn't know you wanted to make board games, thats awesome!

Yup! Tabletop gaming and their design has been a huge interest of mine for a long time :) thanks for watching!

The hare spaces worked slightly differently in the country side themed edition that (I assume) was the edition that won the Spiel des Jahres in 1979. There are 12 hare cards, 8 good and 4 bad. Any card played goes back to the bottom of the pile, so if you can remember the order of 12 cards, the luck factor disappears.

[@icaruspandas]

Yeah I realized this after making the video, probably something I should have mentioned. Kinda weird they changed it down the line. Thanks for watching :)

@@icaruspandas I played it tonight with 5 players. The order of some of the fields is revised too in that 1978 edition, for example the first lettuce is at step 7 instead of 10.

​@@anno9456 Very interesting. I didn't realize the differences were that big. I know the board looks a bit different too, which some people seem to prefer.
