Winter Rabbit

In Winter Rabbit, winter is moving in on the village and the old wise ones predict it will be a harsh one. That is why all the villagers join forces to gather enough supplies before the cold sets in. Still, everyone secretly wants to contribute just a bit more than the others. There is only one problem: Rabbit does not feel like working. He would rather sow confusion and keep the harvest for himself. This game is set in the world of the traditional Cherokee animal tales. Each player takes on the role of an animal character and helps guide the village through the winter. Winter Rabbit is semi-cooperative: you work towards the same goal together, but at the same time everyone wants to be the most valuable helper. That makes every turn a nice mix of thinking along and being just a bit quicker than the rest. The special part is the hidden villagers. You draw them from a bag and only you know who you are holding. Where you place them is visible to everyone, but what they will bring in stays exciting. Choose Rabbit and the resources disappear into his burrow, so you can steal them back later. Keep a close eye on your supplies, because your storage is limited and producing too much will work against you later on. Will you bring in enough together? Then the player with the most points wins. If you do not manage it in time, the whole village loses together.
