The campaign had a slower start than I hoped for, so reaching our funding goal is an especially exciting milestone. Thank you so much to everyone who has backed, followed, shared the campaign, or told a friend about Rascally Rabbits. Your support means the world to me. Now let's keep the momentum going, unlock stretch goals, and make Rascally Rabbits even better together!Β

A huge thank you to both reviewers for taking the time to play the game and share their thoughts. It's incredibly rewarding to see players discover the unique one-card trick-taking experience and the strategic decisions behind the customizable garden cards.

πŸŒ™ Moonlight Garden Is Blooming!
3 months ago – Mon, Jun 22, 2026 at 08:40:25 AM

Happy Monday, everyone!

As we continue counting down to launch, I've been spending some time exploring expansion ideas for Rascally Rabbits. One concept I'm particularly excited about is Moonlight Garden, a mini-expansion featuring special rule cards that make each round feel a little different while keeping the game fast, approachable, and full of bunny mischief. The goal is simple: add variety, increase replayability, and create memorable moments without adding a lot of complexity.

Here are a few examples currently being tested:

πŸŒ™ Moonlit Harvest
A trick won with a value of 5 or less counts as two tricks instead of one.

πŸŒ™ Rabbit Tunnels
The two numbers crossed out during setup must be orthogonally adjacent.

We're testing many more ideas and trying to find the right balance between fun surprises and meaningful strategic choices. The expansion is still in development, but it's already creating some wonderfully chaotic moments around the table.

πŸŽ₯ Campaign Video Almost Ready

A huge thank you to our good friend Ben Wagner for helping bring the project to life. We're excited to share the final result with you very soon.

πŸ‘ Help Us on BGG

Over the weekend, we added Rascally Rabbits to the BoardGameGeek Gen Con Preview List.
If you're on BGG, we'd greatly appreciate a thumbs up!
Thank you again for following the project and supporting these mischievous little bunnies. The garden gates open soon, and we can't wait to welcome you inside! 🐰πŸ₯•

🐰 New Expansion Ideas Are Sprouting!
3 months ago – Mon, Jun 15, 2026 at 09:49:18 AM

Happy Monday, everyone!

We're getting closer to launch, and while we're continuing to refine the base game, we've also started exploring expansion ideas for Rascally Rabbits. Nothing is finalized yet, but we wanted to share a few concepts we're currently testing and hear what you think!

πŸ₯• 7–8 Player Expansion

One of the most requested ideas has been the ability to play with larger groups. To make that possible, we're working on a 7–8 Player Expansion that would allow even more bunnies to join the garden raid. The expansion currently includes:

  • 2 additional garden cards
  • 2 rabbit cards
  • 2 dry-erase markers
  • 2 player shields
  • 2 Trick markers

Whether it's family gatherings, game nights, conventions, or gaming clubs, we're excited about the possibility of bringing even more players into the action.

✏️ Secret Garden Expansion

Another idea we're experimenting with is a more advanced garden customization module. In this expansion, garden cards start without any preprinted suits on the rows and columns. After the Favorite Crop (trump suit) is revealed, players secretly assign their preferred crops to the rows and columns of their garden card before the round begins.

This creates even more strategic possibilities and allows players to tailor their garden to match their bidding goals and play style.

Want to chase tricks? Build for tricks.
Want to collect rabbits? Build for rabbits.
Want to balance both? That's an option too.

The result is a garden that truly feels like your own creation.

🌱 More Ideas on the Way

These are only some of the expansion concepts we've begun exploring. We have several other ideas on the drawing board, and we'll continue testing them as we move closer to launch.

Do you have an expansion idea you'd love to see in Rascally Rabbits? Let us know in the comments! We'd love to hear your suggestions.

⭐ New Review from Dale Yu

🐰 Six Weeks to Launch and 300+ Followers!
3 months ago – Mon, Jun 08, 2026 at 08:04:24 AM

Happy Monday, everyone!

We are now about six weeks away from launch, and I'm thrilled to share that Rascally Rabbits has hopped past 300 followers! πŸ₯•πŸŽ‰

Thank you all so much for your support, encouragement, shares, comments, and follows. Every follower helps bring more bunny mischief into the world, and I couldn't be more excited to see the garden growing.

Over the past several months, Rascally Rabbits has been playtested and reviewed by players around the world. The response has been incredibly positive, and it's been wonderful to watch players discover the unique trick-writing gameplay, clever decisions, and surprising scoring opportunities hidden within those little garden cards.

That said, we're not done improving the game.

One of the most valuable parts of the process has been listening to player feedback. Even when a game is already fun, there is always room to make it smoother, clearer, and more enjoyable.

One recent suggestion led to a small but meaningful improvement. Previously, players would write both the number and crop (suit) they played each trick. Now, the crop symbols are pre-printed on the card, allowing players to simply circle the appropriate crop and write only the number. It's a small change, but it makes gameplay cleaner and easier to follow, especially in larger groups.



We've also updated the rabbit track. Instead of splitting the rabbits between the top and bottom of the card, all rabbits are now grouped together at the top. This makes them easier to track during play and gives players a clear view of their growing collection of mischievous bunnies.

And speaking of rabbits...

Players can now circle up to 12 rabbits during the game! 🐰🐰🐰

Remember, unused rabbits are never wasted. At the end of the game, players score 1 point for every three circled rabbits that remain on their card.

Of course, the truly rascally strategy is to collect a pile of rabbits and then seize the perfect opportunity to finish a round with zero tricks. Pull it off, and those rabbits can turn into a massive scoring opportunity that leaves your opponents wondering what just happened.

Thank you again for following the journey. We're getting closer every week, and I can't wait to share more previews, reviews, convention demos, and bunny mischief as we count down to launch.

See you in the garden!
